Re: FLUXLIST: small protest continues
Hi all, Thanks for responses and comments regarding media coverage in the US. It's always interesting to find out what's happening elsewhere at a time like this, especially since the mainstream media just keep trotting out the same distorted version of the truth as they see it. Thanks especially for the links. Have checked out all of them and together with a number of others have uploaded them to my war pages for easy reference. I've also uploaded an interesting article by George Monbiot which talks about US treatment of POWs as well as alleged war crimes in Afghanistan and a link to clips from Jamie Doran's film 'Afghan Massacre' which discusses that. On the lighter side Roger Stevens sent me some detourned movie posters which I uploaded late last night. Anyway, all new stuff at www.sol23.com I've also put a link to Chomsky's thoughts on the war. Thom, your description of the mood in SF was very interesting. BTW - I enjoy your work on moviepoopshoot.com originally I only discovered that site via seeing Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back..but I guess that was the point. cheers, Sol.
Re: FLUXLIST: rhizome
Hi all, Thanks for letting me know re: rhizome...I only ever checked rhizome occasionally so I doubt I'll particularly miss it but it seems pretty poor to start charging. In many ways this goes along with a feeling I've had for a while that the original energy I felt about net art a few years ago is no longer there and the dominant mode of cultural production in this phase of the web will be art on the net as oppose to net art. BTW - if anyone can point me in the direction of an exciting new net art please let send me some links. cheers, Sol.
FLUXLIST: Fwd: TELMEMS 2003 - FEATURE OF FASCISM
Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2003 23:24:07 -0500 From: Diane Teramana [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TELMEMS 2003 - FEATURE OF FASCISM To: TELMEMS \A\ LIST [EMAIL PROTECTED] User-Agent: Microsoft-Outlook-Express-Macintosh-Edition/5.02.2022 Madam President, This appeared in today's NYTimes, and was sent to me by a friend. I thought I'd forward it to you. Marc Kehoe OP-ED COLUMNIST Channels of Influence By PAUL KRUGMAN By and large, recent pro-war rallies haven't drawn nearly as many people as antiwar rallies, but they have certainly been vehement. One of the most striking took place after Natalie Maines, lead singer for the Dixie Chicks, criticized President Bush: a crowd gathered in Louisiana to watch a 33,000-pound tractor smash a collection of Dixie Chicks CD's, tapes and other paraphernalia. To those familiar with 20th-century European history it seemed eerily reminiscent of. . . . But as Sinclair Lewis said, it can't happen here. Who has been organizing those pro-war rallies? The answer, it turns out, is that they are being promoted by key players in the radio industry with close links to the Bush administration. The CD-smashing rally was organized by KRMD, part of Cumulus Media, a radio chain that has banned the Dixie Chicks from its playlists. Most of the pro-war demonstrations around the country have, however, been organized by stations owned by Clear Channel Communications, a behemoth based in San Antonio that controls more than 1,200 stations and increasingly dominates the airwaves. The company claims that the demonstrations, which go under the name Rally for America, reflect the initiative of individual stations. But this is unlikely: according to Eric Boehlert, who has written revelatory articles about Clear Channel in Salon, the company is notorious and widely hated for its iron-fisted centralized control. Until now, complaints about Clear Channel have focused on its business practices. Critics say it uses its power to squeeze recording companies and artists and contributes to the growing blandness of broadcast music. But now the company appears to be using its clout to help one side in a political dispute that deeply divides the nation. Why would a media company insert itself into politics this way? It could, of course, simply be a matter of personal conviction on the part of management. But there are also good reasons for Clear Channel which became a giant only in the last few years, after the Telecommunications Act of 1996 removed many restrictions on media ownership to curry favor with the ruling party. On one side, Clear Channel is feeling some heat: it is being sued over allegations that it threatens to curtail the airplay of artists who don't tour with its concert division, and there are even some politicians who want to roll back the deregulation that made the company's growth possible. On the other side, the Federal Communications Commission is considering further deregulation that would allow Clear Channel to expand even further, particularly into television. Or perhaps the quid pro quo is more narrowly focused. Experienced Bushologists let out a collective Aha! when Clear Channel was revealed to be behind the pro-war rallies, because the company's top management has a history with George W. Bush. The vice chairman of Clear Channel is Tom Hicks, whose name may be familiar to readers of this column. When Mr. Bush was governor of Texas, Mr. Hicks was chairman of the University of Texas Investment Management Company, called Utimco, and Clear Channel's chairman, Lowry Mays, was on its board. Under Mr. Hicks, Utimco placed much of the university's endowment under the management of companies with strong Republican Party or Bush family ties. In 1998 Mr. Hicks purchased the Texas Rangers in a deal that made Mr. Bush a multimillionaire. There's something happening here. What it is ain't exactly clear, but a good guess is that we're now seeing the next stage in the evolution of a new American oligarchy. As Jonathan Chait has written in The New Republic, in the Bush administration government and business have melded into one big `us.' On almost every aspect of domestic policy, business interests rule: Scores of midlevel appointees . . . now oversee industries for which they once worked. We should have realized that this is a two-way street: if politicians are busy doing favors for businesses that support them, why shouldn't we expect businesses to reciprocate by doing favors for those politicians by, for example, organizing grass roots rallies on their behalf? What makes it all possible, of course, is the absence of effective watchdogs. In the Clinton years the merest hint of impropriety quickly blew up into a huge scandal; these days, the scandalmongers are more likely to go after journalists who raise questions. Anyway, don't you know there's a war on? Doing research? Search the

It's also a critical time for us to stay involved. As we report below, together we've had some amazing successes over the last month, both domestically and in opposition to this war. We need to keep this momentum building. As a next step, please consider joining MoveOn's Media Corps -- a group of committed online activists who will keep the media accountable. Help make sure that our news media report the war the way it happens, not the way the Bush Administration wishes it would happen. You can sign up now at: http://www.moveon.org/mediacorps/ American media outlets have chosen to stifle or simply not show the most terrible and saddening aspects of this war. They are reluctant to air the voices of critics who are raising important questions about its effectiveness and purpose. And they appear to have acceded to the Bush Administration's desire to black out pictures or footage of civilian casualties. Now more than ever, it's important that the media report the full story, unvarnished and unspun. But all we see on TV are retired military officers and Administration officials narrating a clean and precise war that bears little resemblance to the chaos, bloodshed, and tragedy on the ground. We need to demand the full picture. Please consider joining the MoveOn Media Corps right now. The action ideas we send you won't generally take longer than 15 minutes, but to be part of the Corps we ask that you commit to taking up to one action per day. The actions could include calling media outlets when they air especially bad coverage, pushing Clear Channel radio to stop censoring anti-war songs, or writing letters to the editor. Sign up right now at: http://www.moveon.org/mediacorps/ The MoveOn Media Corps is just a part of our ongoing work. Over the last month, we've launched a variety of impressive initiatives, thanks to you. This war is tragic, but there really is hope: more of us are active than ever before, we're winning domestic policy battles, and we're changing the international landscape. If we stick together, in the end, we'll win. One exciting internal development is the growth of MoveOn.org itself. In July 2002, we had a little over 480,000 folks on our domestic list, with another 390,000 MoveOn members in other countries around the world. Today, less than eight months later, there are over 1,300,000 of us in the United States alone. (Think of it this way -- one out of every 216 Americans is a MoveOn member.) With our 750,000 international members, we're over two million strong. It's not just that there are a lot of us, of course. We're also getting things done. In reverse chronological order, here are some of our events and campaigns since the beginning of March: (*) TUESDAY, MARCH 25TH: Big win on tax fairness Almost 10,000 phone calls from MoveOn members helped Democrats win with a razor-thin majority in the Senate, cutting the Bush tax cut by half. The AFL-CIO helped make these calls possible by providing a toll-free phone line to Capitol Hill. (*) SATURDAY, MARCH 22ND: Hundreds of thousands march in NYC MoveOn members and many others peacefully marched in one of the largest domestic anti-war events in the last thirty years. Organizers put the crowd at over a quarter of a million folks -- and this wasn't even a nationally promoted march. (*) FRIDAY, MARCH 21ST: Raised over $500,000 for Oxfam Over 6,000 MoveOn members chipped in over half a million dollars in a matter of days to help support desperately needed humanitarian aid work in Iraq. If you haven't yet given, your contribution would still be put to very good use. Go to: http://www.moveon.org/oxfam/ (*) WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19TH: Launch of Citizens' Declaration Our Citizens' Declaration urged folks to pledge a continued commitment to opposing the Bush war policy and to resolving conflict through international institutions. The response was tremendous -- by now, over 550,000 signers from virtually every country in the world have signed. We still encourage folks to sign up -- you can do so now at: http://www.moveon.org/declaration/ The Citizens' Declaration was also highlighted as the centerpiece of a Washington Post editorial. The sentiments in that statement could be endorsed by much of the American foreign policy establishment, wrote Robert Kuttner, the author. You can read the whole editorial at: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A8220-2003Mar21.html (*) WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19TH: We win Senate vote on ANWR Here's what Peter Schurman, MoveOn's executive director, wrote to the members from key states who participated in this fight: The Senate voted 52-48 today to protect the Arctic National

FLUXLIST: Other news resources
carol, so glad to see you've listed MoveOn. i was just about to do so this morning. for those who don't know, this is the group that has been petitioning the security council among other places and one of the most together petiton groups. they had 300 volunteers deliver the last petition - 12 boxes of signatures to each u.n. mission on the council. i was touched by the photos and statements i browsed through, sent in from the vigil sites around the world. in the Other mainstream, but somewhat removed from u.s. bias is the CBC (canadian broadcasting commission). like the beeb in its scope of resources except this is high-tech/low-war canada. http://cbc.ca or go directly to http://cbc.ca/iraq canada is not a member of the 'coalition of the willing' and is subsequently not on the u.s. list of 'friendly' nations. this has a good part of the population going through a range of anxious emotional reactions from fear to anger. still, there,s been problems with the bush administration since the beginning. historically, the first foreign visit made by a new u.s. has been to ottawa - sharing 'the world's longest unpatrolled border' and largest trade partner, c., c. but bush has not yet officially been to canada (bush41 has a fishing cottage or sommat like that - i'm not sure where - but going fishing with daddy doesn't count as a state visit). the irony is that canada went with the u.s. into afghanistan, had certain casualties - some at the hands of u.s. soldiers, has maintained a prescence there - cleaning up mine fields, c., and even has a ship or two in the gulf as part of this 'war on terrorism' - although i can't say what that is. still, it officially condemns the invasion, as it did with viet nam. perhaps if this war drags on as it did then, the population will once again increase with young usanians seeking asylum in canada. our concern is that the economic pressure the u.s. is capable of will, in turn, scare the population into pressuring parliament to join in the war. and so there are unprecedented anti-war activities going on every week. here in montreal there have been marches on the weekends with hundreds of people taking part. this is extraordinary considering the population size. anyroad, here are some sites from the u.s. longstanding u.s. journals that are antiwar include : the nation - outsoken with a page for antiwar activities http://thenation.com as well as harpers atlantic monthly and what u.s. journals may not fit to print: http://www.commondreams.org/ http://www.counterpunch.org middle east report http://www.merip.org/index.html TruthOut http://www.truthout.org Alternet http://www.alternet.org Slate http://slate.msn.com and some bush photo opps http://winstars.free.fr/english/bush.html fun to circulate - some are already well known. this takes a rather long time if you don't have broadband so i suggest you get started on folding all those socks lying about. m. .

FLUXLIST: Who are the Iraqis?
This is interesting... XXX Roger By JOE BOB BRIGGS NEW YORK, Nov. 11 (UPI) Every decade or so, we should remind ourselves of who the Iraqis are: 1. Twelve-thousand years ago, they invented irrigated farming. They got to be so good at it that, today, they can still produce all the food they need even when "sanctions" are imposed. 2. They invented writing. 3. They figured out how to tell time. 4. They founded modern mathematics. 5. In the Code of Hammurabi, they invented the first legal system that protects the weak, the widow and the orphan. 6. Five thousand years ago, they had philosophers who attempted to list every known thing in the world. 7. They were using Pythagoras' theorem 1,700 years before Pythagoras. 8. They invented artificial building materials - some kind of pre-fab-crete stuff used to construct high-rise towers. 9. Ur, in southeast Iraq, is assumed to be the place we're all descended from. 10. They were the first people to build cities and live in them. 11. For thousands of years, they wrote the greatest poetry, history and "sagas" in the world. 12. Because they were great horse breeders, they invented the cavalry in war. 13. The Iraq Museum in Baghdad contains some of the most outstanding stone, metal and clay sculptures and inscriptions created in the history of the world. Some of them are more than 7,000 years old. 14. The first school for astronomers was established by Iraqis.This is how the "wise men" got to be so wise. They knew how to follow the star. 15. Beginning around 800 A.D., the Iraqis founded universities that imported teachers from throughout the civilized world to teach medicine, mathematics, philosophy, theology, literature and poetry. 16. For the first 1,200 years of its existence, Baghdad was regarded as one of the most refined, civilized and festive cities in the world. 17. Abraham, the father of Israel, was from Iraq. 18. Abraham, the father of Islam, was from Iraq. 19. Abraham, the father and "model" of Christian faith, was from Iraq. 20. Iraq is the second largest reserve of oil. 21. Before 1980, Iraq had the largest number of date palm trees in the world. 22. Iraqi wheat, rice, and meat are considered to be the finest types in the world. 23. Iraq has the biggest softwater/population ratio in the world, with seven rivers. 24. Iraqis were once considered as the Germans of Arabs with the highest percentage of highly educated people. 25. Iraq, is one of the world's richest territories in historical sites and holy shrines. Blank Bkgrd.gif

This is our starting point. The beginning of our journey to power. When I mention the post-vietnam generation I mean all the people for whom that war was a personality refining crucible as well as those of use who were born during (as I was) or after.

I hear they have a Canadian baking there. joseph donna www.electrichands.com joseph franklyn mcelroy corporate performance artist www.corporatepa.com go shopping - http://www.electrichands.com/shopindex.htm call me 646 279 2309 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER CUPCAKEKALEIDOSCOPE - send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quoting alan bowman [EMAIL PROTECTED]: thanks for the suggestions. recipes involving a place and the method of cooking are the ones i'm looking for keep 'em coming! alan

Many thanks! Kathy Macpherson Ben Maltz Gallery Otis College of Art and Design mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] 310.665.6909 Ben Maltz Gallery at Otis College of Art and Design is proud to present 3 NIGHTS OF FLUXUS in conjunction with the exhibition Betwixt Between: the Life Work of Fluxus Artist Dick Higgins Lecture Monday, March 31, 8pm Something Else Again - Art critic and lecturer Peter Frank will talk about the history of Something Else Press experimental artist book press founded by artists Dick Higgins and Alison Knowles in the early 1960s. Their Something Else Newsletter was the first public network to give voice to the international Fluxus movement. ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office / Sound Performances Tuesday, April 1, 8pm Steve Roden - a house in waterproof paper A quiet improvised sound performance using acoustic objects and electronics following a fragment of Dick Higgins text from the book Fantastic Architecture as a score. http://www.inbetweennoise.com/Steve Roden is a visual and sound artist from Los Angeles who has been exhibiting since 1986. In his sound works, objects, architectural spaces, and field recordings are abstracted through electronics to create audio new spaces, or 'possible landscapes'. The sound works present themselves with an aesthetic Roden describes as lower case'' - sound concerned with subtlety and the quiet activity of listening. Loren Chasse - otic diary A meditation on close sounds and the intimacy of noise. http://www.23five.org/lchasse/Loren Chasse lives in San Francisco where he leads creative listening workshops for after-school programs. He also records and performs both as a solo artist and with the groups idBattery and Thuja. Chasse also currently serves as Director of Education for the nonprofit sound arts organization http://www.23five.org/23five Incorporated. Chasses approach toward sound is to activate areas of a landscape and the objects in them as instruments. We suspend our own noise when confronted with a wondrous sound. Subsequently, we might begin listening to ourselves in a new way, realizing how we might become part of this wondrous thing. Lecture Wednesday, April 2, 8pm Befluxed Beflummoxed - Fluxus scholar and co-curator of Betwixt Between Simon Anderson will talk about the history of Fluxus and the life and work of Fluxus artist Dick Higgins.
