May Day, 2006 Chicago, USA Dear nettime, Today I went to the big immigrants' rights march/rally. I had enough to say about the day even before I received word, just after having returned home from the event, of an untimely loss for the Chicago art/activist world. Michael Piazza passed suddenly

Re: nettime Just do it! - Intellectual theft as a curatorial

I have seen neither the show nor the catalogue, so I of course I cannot offer an evaluation of those. But it seemed to me that Inke Arns's comments were more about courtesy (and the lack thereof) than a diatribe against rip-offs. John Young's response veer more closely toward the platitudinous

Re: nettime influences

I am interested in how people on this list have their activism influenced by intellectuals such as Michael Hardt, Antonio Negri and Slavoj Zizek? I read Empire in a rush about a year ago in preparation for a paper I was writing. I found myself not wanting it to end. I can't really say it
