Dorner rhetoric:

suspect to surrender before accidentally setting the cabin where he was
holed up on fire when they shot a pyrotechnic chemical device inside."
Yes - "accidental" because that's not what "pyrhotechnic" devices do, now,

Re: [NetBehaviour] Stop pretending cyberspace exists.

2013-02-15 Thread Roger Mills 

Agreed, I thought the virtual v real networked space discussion was long gone, 
although clearly the space/place metaphor still inspires those known to the 
author.

Having said that, perhaps it is because developments in collaborative networked 
platforms are facilitating such fantastic outcomes..(thinking of the recent 
UpStage Festival performances) that the sense of being transported still 
intrigues me at least. However I should imagine most of us might agree that 
this in the same way as co-located cinema, theatre or music does, where the 
conceptual space is not necessarily a cold hard non-space but a space of 
consciousness that is the creative engagement itself.

Again this is not a new perspective but one the author doesn't seem to 
reference.

I must say, more contentious for me is his notion that governments are somehow 
different to corporations that require legislative safeguards against the 
misuse of data and communications. This seems to be such an anachronistic 
perspective. Surely we should be as concerned, if not more with increasing 
spectre of "corporations as government" and the ways in which ease of commerce 
actually hinders personal freedom for so many !

just my 2p

[NetBehaviour] cyberspace: believing is seeing

2013-02-15 Thread mark cooley 


Of course Gibson more commonly defined cyberspace as a "consensual 
hallucination".  This sets up the an interesting relationship between what is 
and what could be. To that extent what we imagine becomes real. Believing is 
seeing rather than seeing is believing. Governments and corporations can 
obviously "take over" imaginary spaces to the extent that we depend on these 
imaginary spaces to make material changes in our lives. In the end, the 
imaginary absolutely affects the material to the extent that the imaginary 
forms the real. I imagine that I have money in the bank, actually it's a bunch 
of data and has no physical reality. So if someone takes my check card and 
takes money out of my account (turning from abstract numbers to abstract paper 
to buy an object that has been given an imaginary value) I shouldn't complain 
that they stole anything from me? It's all just imaginary anyway?!

The real / unreal debate is such a waste of time because it dismisses that most 
things are already both.

We need to reclaim cyberspace. Occupy it, possibly.

"Open Source" is a marketing term that was adopted to avoid mentioning 
the ethics of free software when selling its products to corporate 
clients.

It isn't more appropriate than "Free Software" either for Stallman's 
philosophy, which predates that usage, or for the actual concept of 
personal liberty in the use of software.

[NetBehaviour] 200k Caymans companies hijacked to democratize offshore business - Press Release.

2013-02-15 Thread netbehaviour 
200k Caymans companies hijacked to democratize offshore business - Press 
Release.

Loophole for All - Loophole4All.com
Press Release. NYC, 15th February 2013.

Paolo Cirio, contemporary artist and pirate, hacked the governmental
servers of the Cayman Islands and stole a list of all the companies
incorporated in the country, making it public for the first time. Now
on Loophole4All.com he is selling the identities of those companies at
a low cost to democratize the privileges of offshore businesses.

Paolo hijacks the identities of more than 200,000 companies registered
in the Cayman Islands by moving their addresses to his Caymans mailbox
and issuing counterfeited certificates of incorporation from the
Caymans company registry. This massive corporate identity theft
benefits from the anonymous nature of those companies since the real
owners’ secrecy allows anybody to impersonate them. In short, this
project turns the main feature of offshore centers into a
vulnerability.

Through Loophole4All.com, anyone can hijack a Caymans company, from
99¢ for a certificate of incorporation for a real company to $49 for a
mailbox in the offshore country with mail rerouting. Finally, small
businesses and middle class people can invoice from the major offshore
centers and avoid unfair taxes, legal responsibility and economic
disruption in their own indebted home countries, in a form of global
civil disobedience.

For this operation, the artist set up a company in the City of London
as a shield for legal persecution and to compete in the market against
offshore centers. He utilizes aggressive business strategies for a
political work of art and reverses corporate machination for creative
subversive agendas. With the money generated by selling companies'
identities, Paolo plans to expand his business into Bermuda, Jersey,
the Seychelles, and Delaware, among others.

Further, Paolo Cirio interviewed major experts and produced a video
documentary investigating offshore centers, where he shares his
extensive research and conclusions about offshore business:
http://Loophole4all.com/doc.php

In the offline art installation, the paper trail of the project is
displayed with prints of the documents of the scheme set up for the
operation. Ultimately, the installation will be a low cost identity
shop for offshore companies, and in doing so democratize both offshore
business and the sale of subversive works of conceptual art.

Watch the introductory-meme video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qGg7YIvnMQ

Quick notes:
- The Cayman Islands are second only after Switzerland in the global
Financial Secrecy Index.
- The Caymans state is considered to be one of the major offshore
centers for high finance and the global economy.
- Among the several thousand anonymous companies in the Caymans you
will find most of the major global multinationals, Chinese businesses,
criminal organizations and all the major global banks.
- There is neither real money in the Caymans nor a real market.
Caymans companies are only booked on paper.
- The Cayman Islands is a British crown colony situated 150 miles
south of Cuba in the Caribbean Sea.

In the next months you will find Paolo Cirio's works at:
- Public Private exhibition at Kellen Gallery of The New School, New 
York - U.S.
- The Big Picture, exhibition at Contemporary Museum of Denver, Colorado 
- U.S.
- MediaCities festival, exhibition, Buffalo - U.S.
- Eastern Bloc festival, exhibition, Montreal - Canada
- ISEA 2013, keynote, Sydney - Australia

Thanks for the attention.

#AaronSwartz La liberté sur Internet après SOPA / After SOPA @ F2C May 2012

13 février, par Aaron Swartz, Louise Desrenards (traduction)

Fighting the bigger fight / Lutter pour un combat plus grand I’m afraid that
Aaron’s legacy is going to be dumbed down to ’hacker,’ ’copyfighter,’ the
way the media dumbed down the SOPA fight to Google versus the telephone
companies. So let’s not forget that Aaron fought the bigger fights : the
fight for access, the fight for justice, the fight for democracy, the fight
for us, for this community, and for the greater community that is all
humankind. « J’ai peur (...)

#AaronSwartz Ce qui arrive dans The Dark Knight : Le Chevalier noir

12 février, par Aaron Swartz, Loïc Le Bertern (Traduction)

Il s’agit du second volume, sorti en 2008, de la trilogie filmique sur
Batman de Christopher Nolan, dont le dernier, The Dark Knight Rises, sorti
en 2012, est entaché par la fusillade d’Aurora, dans le Colorado, où un
jeune homme masqué équipé d’un fusil d’assaut tira sur les spectateurs
pendant une projection inaugurale, faisant 12 morts et 58 blessés, durant la
nuit du 19 au 20 juillet. Cette tuerie collective marqua le début d’un débat
sur le désarmement de la population américaine avec de (...)

#AaronSwartz La transformation du réseau / The Network Transformation

10 février, par Aaron Swartz, doriankivabien, Steal ThisFilm

Dans son intervention au Memorial de Washington D.C. le 18 janvier, Tim
Berners-Lee, le fondateur du web public et du World Wide Web Consortium
(W3C), qui a suivi l’évolution de Aaron Swartz depuis ses premiers mots dans
un forum où se retrouvaient les développeurs, au moment de la naissance du
RSS, a évoqué deux temps pragmatiques de l’engagement organique de Aaron
Swartz (qui a toujours intégré ses idées sociales et ses performances
techniques). Dans un premier temps il a pensé que l’Internet (...)

Re: [NetBehaviour] New Digital Culture Unit @ Goldsmiths

2013-02-15 Thread Simon Biggs 
Eduardo

I agree with all three of your points.

However, we shouldn't always place too much import on what the words in names 
mean. New Media came into common use amongst artists in the 1990's. The main 
purpose for using the term was to discriminate between the creative practices 
that were emerging at that time, many internet based, and prior activity that 
had been, till then, termed media art. I'm of an age to have witnessed the 
morphing of these names as different generations seek to differentiate 
themselves from their predecessors. When I started out the term media art 
didn't exist and we spoke of video, computer art, electronic art, kinetic art 
and such forms. Media art, as a term, came along in the 1980's. If this process 
of naming does foster differentiation (which is debatable) then it is probably 
self-defeating. The point is, the names are not important and the issues these 
processes of differentiation relate to are usually arcane and of little import.

On the other hand, the history of names associated with places can be very 
important, especially to those with an investment in the cultural dynamics 
involved. I imagine emotions can run high in St Petersburg/Leningrad, depending 
on which side of the debate you are on. In South America the same sensitivities 
clearly exist, as they do in Australia, where some indigenous peoples ask for a 
change in the name of the country (although most seem bemused, even after more 
than 200 years, by the need to have a name). Meanwhile, most of the Australian 
population has little investment in the history from where the name of the 
country emerged, having come to the country in various waves of migration after 
the First World War, the Second World War and the Vietnam War from countries 
not associated with 17th and 18th Century British, Dutch and French 
colonialism. They probably don't care much what it's name is.

As for the issue of free software vs open source - I agree with you that open 
source is a better thought through and sustainable paradigm for software 
development. I stated that in an earlier email.
