I am currently the official blogger of Transmediale08, festival of art and digital culture in Berlin. I will be writing here during next week. Refresh for updates!
Vortex in a cloud
Video Vortex is over and i did not have time to add information on this blog.
Fortunately other people made a systematic documentation of the event, so i drop here this link from the ‘master of media’ for those interested, though i did not read it yet.
I guess i will post my opinion and a cloud of links, then go back to something else…
Video Vortex
Video Vortex is the new conference organised by ‘Institute for Network Cultures’ in Amsterdam.
La vera storia del Chequepoint in Damrak 16
# english version to come, eventually #
Il Chequepoint in Damrak 16 e’ stato un esperimento interessante nell’ambito degli Amsterdam-Squatters, spesso vincolati da un nostalgico stile punk anni ’80 ed una burocrazia che fa a pugni con la bandiera anarchica che sventola sotto il naso di molti. Spesso, ovvero nella maggior parte dei casi, si occupa per avere una casa, possibilmente per non lavorare, o comunque per reclamare il diritto ad uscire dalla societa’ e rifiutarla. Fin qui ci siamo.
Conversation with Annalist during CCC: about fear and terror, surveillance and control…
I met Anne Roth in Berlin at the hacker congress… I was very interested in listening to her talk and i was going to ask her for an interview to be published on the online magazine Digicult. The idea is to explain to an italian public what her story is about.
I knew Anne only remotely, from irc and some mailing lists, and i expected to find a very kind and calm person… Her experience can be seen as a paradigm of Orwellian current state. Going public is a possible remedy to fear, because "fear only works if you are alone…".
We recorded the interview thanks to CCC’s radio equipment.
I am publishing here the audio file containing fragments of our conversation, ogg and mp3 available ;p
My article will appear on DigiMag at the beginning of February in Italian, and it will be translated to English at the end of the month.
Feel free to spread, re-broadcast and remix this audio file.
Use it in your radio program :)
BODY ELECTRIC
Hihihi…
Qui ad Amsterdam stanno veramente avantissimo!
I cant help myself, i have to post this link i just stumbled upon:
In pratica si tratta di lezioni di gruppo per scoprire l’energia erotica del sesso, secondo la disciplina taoista (ma mi sa che anche mia nonna lo sapeva…) del respiro come strumento per distruibuire il piacere e farlo salire… piu’ in alto!
E… udite udite… ai maschietti viene insegnato che l’orgasmo non e’ l’eiaculazione!
Applauso.
L’eiaculazione e’ un riflesso fisico finalizzato alla riproduzione, l’orgasmo e’ un piacere spirituale dei sensi.
Clap, clap, clap.
