Contain This! Leaks, Whistle-Blowers and the Networked News Ecology By Felix Stalder In the wake of WikiLeaks' recent headline-busting exposés, a very different news and informational landscape is emerging. Whilst acknowledging the structural leakiness of networked organisations, Felix Stalder finds deeper lying reasons for the crisis of information security and the new distribution of investigative journalism http://linkme2.net/ny * *No Room to Move: Radical Art and the Regenerate City* http://linkme2.net/nz Edited by Josephine Berry Slater & Anthony Iles Featuring projects and interviews with: Alberto Duman, Freee, Nils Norman, Laura Oldfield Ford and Roman Vasseur As the Creative City model for urban regeneration founders on the rocks of the recession, and the New Labour public art commissioning frenzy it triggered recedes, Anthony Iles and Josephine Berry Slater take stock of an era of highly instrumentalised public art making. Focusing on artists and consultants who have engaged critically with the exclusionary politics of urban regeneration, their analysis locates such practice within a schematic history of urban development's neoliberal mode. Breaking down into a report and a collection of interviews, this investigation consistently focuses on the forms and, indeed, possibility of critical public art within a regime that fetishes 'creativity' whilst systematically destroying its preconditions in its pursuit of capital accumulation. How, they ask, is critical art shaped by its interaction with this aspect of biopolitical governance?
