magic indistinguishable from technology? Are Wicca & Webmastering the same?

# Goldfish in blenders spark outrage. COPENHAGEN (AP) The art display at the
small museum in western Denmark features 10 goldfish, each swimming in its
own blender. The catch: the blenders can be turned on by viewers. The show
has really pissed-off animal rights activists and drawn unusually large
crowds. 2 fish were blended at the opening; cops ordered the plugs pulled
after a local animal rights group complained. 5 more fish were blended on
Sunday. Five surviving fish were also stolen from their blender aquariums
over the weekend, but the museum replaces the goldfish to maintain the
artwork. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2564250716-b92
# SLOW DOWN: In our frantic race towards modernization & productivity, we've
begun to fear slowness - to equate leisure with the insidiousness of being
idle. In "Slowness of Speed" 8 Korean artists examine the notion of time
<http://www.hk.co.kr/14_6/200002/t20000215170645465128.htm> in the tradi-
tional Oriental sense, where the boundary between past/present is much
less defined than in West, and the conflict between traditional values
and the needs of modernization. [ Via http://www.artsjournal.com/ ]
: Is life an art, an act, an artifice, an arbitrary action? What's your fave
arbitrary action? Is your life caught in a high-speed blender? D'ya need to
slow down? D'ya slow down often? Does opium help? Can you share it with us?

# A safer form of gene therapy works by pushing the DNA into cells:

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soap-boxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
