nettime Now also bankers know what bitcoins are
, it inherits human problems that are also present in older systems; still P2P currencies as bitcoin let us save energy rather than consume more, also substituting the violence of armed guards with agile and cryptographic communications. Ultimately, the positive message that bitcoin also carries is that of more possibilities in engineering currencies, that of a future in which complementary currencies can make economic systems more resilient to the the disruption of capitalist behaviors, while closely relating people to their community values and maybe even revolutionize the way we contribute to the common good – paying taxes for what we really care, rather than not paying them, let me add. Quoting Wei Dai in [28]one of bitcoin’s founding texts: “It’s a community where the threat of violence is impotent because violence is impossible, and violence is impossible because its participants cannot be linked to their true names or physical locations. Until now it’s not clear, even theoretically, how such a community could operate. A community is defined by the cooperation of its participants, and efficient cooperation requires a medium of exchange (money) and a way to enforce contracts.” Now I’m wondering how people present at the EPCA 2011 conference feel, threatened or pleased by this epiphany? in either case it might be interesting to watch reactions. The transaction products I read of are stacking on technological complexity and seamless design that is ultimately undermining the very possibility for people to trust them. On top of that now there are on-line grass-root communities actively building new systems in a decentralized fashion. Will the monopoly of violence enter this game to defend the old-system, despite the squeaking sounds of its carcass, the diffused lack of trust for old hierarchies and the lack for collective agency within its cheated rules? We will see where this ends up: after all today it felt like one of those historical days marked by such a talk made by a little provocative guy wearing a t-shirt and nail polish speaking in front of a old and well dressed audience – but then no-one was really scared. IRC excerpt from #bitcoin-dev during the conference: jaromil sirius-m: i'd expect some more fashion happening topi` jaro: they just don't know how :) sirius-m thanks for being there, it's a new important audience for bitcoin sirius-m people who otherwise might not hear about the project jaromil true but knowing the types i think they are thinking how to fork it in their own advantage jaromil prolly wasted effort topi` at least they start talking about it:) topi` good luck finding ways to exploit the system krytzz hopefully they cant fork the network krytzz only could start a seperate one :( sirius-m nah, it's good that you're spreading the word :) topi` if there *will* be some threat coming from corporate sector, then we'll finally find out how resilient the whole architecture is :) Like this article?

nettime WIPO General Assembly: I just called to say I want to read
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 FYI, from the Free Culture Forum discussion list - - Forwarded message - I just called to say I want to read David Hammerstein, TransAtlantic Consumer Dialogue Running away from Stevie Wonder in Geneva Stevie Wonder spoke and sang before the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) General Assembly this week in Geneva in favour of ending the book famine for the visually impaired. He passionately challenged the international community to take action to guarantee right to read for millions of print disabled around the world. Many of us were moved by his words and music but others remained indifferent, especially some European countries like France. In fact, when Spain and other EU members proposed to issue a statement saying that the EU accepts the challenge posed by Stevie Wonder to increase the access to reading material for blind persons, the French representatives flatly refused to accept any mention of Stevie Wonder due to their copyright fundamentalism. For Sarkozy�s France it seems that no flexibility or exceptions are possible. In their all out war in defense of copyright no prisoners will be taken. France and other countries like Germany insisted that there shouldn�t be any shadow of doubt concerning the total rejection by the European Union of the World Blind Union�s proposal for a Treaty for the Visually Impaired and Print Disabled that has been sponsored by Brazil, Ecuador, Paraguay and Mexico. It is quite surprising that countries like France that have clear legal exceptions to copyright for the visaully impaired inside their countries do not wish to extend this norm to the rest of the world so that formatted works could flow to the millions print-disabled of the South. At the same time EU countries and the US were dragging their feet on confronting the Book Famine of the print-disabled in Geneva, their chief negotiators were hard at work in secret talks 16 hours a day in Tokyo, hammering out the last details of the ACTA agreement that proposes very strict and repressive enforcement measures of copyright and patents. In contrast, It seems that when it comes to helping one of the most disadvantaged groups in the world, the visually impaired, there is no sense of urgency and no need to take legally binding measures. On IP issues the EU and the US practice a carrot and stick diplomacy with lots of big sticks to fight piracy and very few small carrots for the access to culture, education and technology transfer. In our view they are eroding the credibility of international IP governance by exclusively focussing on protecting the accumulated rights and vested interests of a few Northern business models while giving a cold shoulder to new innovative industries, consumers, internet users and citizens of the global South. Instead of the legally binding treaty brilliantly and passionately defended by Latin American diplomats, the EU prefers voluntary stakeholder agreements that depend on the good will and self- regulation of publishers and rights-holders in order solve the copyright barriers suffered by the visually impaired. (In contrast, this week the EU and the US supported legal treaties at WIPO for broadcasters and audio-visual performers). Both the EU and the US feel it would be a dangerous precedent to open the gate to legal limitations and exceptions to copyright, even if it is for blind persons� non-profit organizations. They are sure that if this proposal goes forward, other legal exceptions will be proposed by Africa for libraries, archives and textbooks in what they call the slippery slope toward the weakening of international copyright law. On the contrary, supporters of flexibilities of copyright believe that fair exceptions could improve the general credibility and social acceptance of copyright governance. I just called to say I want to read might be the title of Stevie Wonder�s next song. Wonder told WIPO that if they do not act he would be forced to write a song about what they didn�t do. The fight for the right to read is gaining momentum and getting stronger around the world. By the time the issue is considered at WIPO in November at the Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights (SCCR) there are some signs that real progress will be made to set a road-map for a fairer copyright system that places the plight of millions of people before the supposed business interests of a few. We just all need to push a little harder. - - +info http://list.fcforum.net/wws/info/fcforum_discussion - - - End forwarded message - -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iQQcBAEBCAAGBQJMnzTMAAoJEAslGzkIl3JRklcf/jzsbyngrEQ14N8cU1s+oaa2 75CHq+0J++KHERQA44Yt/d8S9ppjNtD1kUUTHMd//0t3TsJpdw7AO/OFwAUiGGMx GB63kmlbU0oHrN65GNNoDgTq9ipkRDNZekV3eoDRlQOkBRFk9M3INY0fUpTz/n9q qaRRcplV9iU2SxbzN0Cnem/fj8phcB74WqnBddr56eJI7s1pSCcYRVpHW0Dt4khs

[...] To put it bluntly, no one gives a flying fuck for your imagination. If you don't have an industrial strength media pump you are spitting into the river. now it is quite naive of you to say that: ignoring the power of asymmetrical warfare in contrast to the enthropy pulling out of unidirectional technical advancements. contrary to popular perception these days, we are not in such a bad historical moment for digital cultures: most post-modern critics drop off our ship exasperated by the pressure of new labour issues raising, while the financial pressure is deflected from the mega-corporations to hit the proletariat. But It looks like when the tear-gas hits the rioting crowd: those who are not prepared obviously fall first, look for shelters and the day after will blame the black bloc for actually having a plan - deja vu. Forming armies of mechanical turks is just a desperate preemptive attack driven by the rusty corporate juggernaut before the real battle starts: while they've played all their cards, we have prepared a little but diverse and effective arsenal, which still has to enter play. There is no such thing as digitally autonomous network. You don't know how to make transistors, chips, routers and computers in a sustainable way. do we really need all that? maybe when we talk about digitally autonomous networks we speak about two different notions of digital. a piece of paper with an address and a meeting time can be even more digital than a twit - and less traceable. but then, what are we talking about here, just software being digital? and just technology being human? can't believe that. it's not so bad c'mon :) You are wasting your time in symbolic hobby revolutions. of course!

The fact that far beyond in the previous sentence represents a source of inspiration for desires manufactured in future it's nothing we should worry about now, rather than exploit it if we'll ever learn how to do that. said that, we agree none of us wants to let those lovely i-phone rubbers drown (let's say you convinced me to stop provoking myself to care less) but also we cannot devolve our life fighting a symmetrical war with armies of (paid) ergonomists and mind-blasting adverts. I don't see any GNU people collecting patterns and tracking end users in order to deploy those insights into spreading the GNU-deology. No, they do it 1:1, in a grassroots way, preaching to the choir, ensuring own irrelevance. this is true for the past of the GNU project, while its presence and methods are visibly revamped nowadays, also in the directions you are suggesting, IMHO. there are all kind of new initiatives and news we get from GNU and FSF; it all became more professional than it used to be and definitely more intelligible by digital illiterates. You can not be a comfortable atheist in the land of religious zealots on remote control, which is what iphone rubbing 'tards are. Their attention is captured and tamed, and monitored for deviation (the Inquisition was a very expensive and inefficient way of ensuring compliance.) in times when we are starting to insure our relevance, the worst threat is actually deviation from our own perception. the process behind the definition of the GNU Social platform (previously discussed on this list, as daisychain was criticized for its architecture) gives some interesting hints on how this phenomenon can be avoided (or not); right after the nettime thread some of us started interacting with the GNU Social project and this document came out, as a willful contribution so that it doesn't just ends being yet another tool to monitor people's leisure activities http://groups.fsf.org/wiki/User:Hellekin/A_User_Perspective_Of_GNU_Social still an early draft deserving more research, it defines forgotten User Perspectives that can well work as eye openers, in the hope that the next time the shit hits the fan in places like Italy, Iran or China we won't have to rely on Twitter and Facebook as surrogates for free speech tools. ciao - -- jaromil, dyne.org developer, http://jaromil.dyne.org GPG: B2D9 9376 BFB2 60B7 601F 5B62 F6D3 FBD9 C2B6 8E39 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iQQcBAEBCAAGBQJL4/e/AAoJEAslGzkIl3JRvL4gAJrd2r/4MgVlZZhEKJu0iPD1 uVeDq97aCuEYLE3U/SraGAKESHAIiSRW2VyGfj7RG90WW9ibrvjTFJDEXNQDPw2N rK9PwljfU2rbxmpIdt6DOfLyJ4mf8zTjyvUm1Isg4ww+6S5zngQKkAWJKE31OzKo lNJdL2DHuA4WF6/T4UVHzK7O7NXpX/eOilw2W28PalHcPaNBqhydFi7a+KMNbnyI jG/LH8hzIoaH7t9mNCrAKUeeGDAiIuNfUlxMQEzG9rxu53JR/ZcTPGwIM7rraBhq kCyFT155ZpndN86bNVETtx7pABlpOTk1mgQ8AppgDwYT7v8XMkyL92cZ2tb4PPDM nvQl/jqsz5FNSt/Ze+MJV+OmACWNtTdyaLTepI6F678oa4w1oBB6NGBvbd9XolZr YoeLu9adk+rPvB8XSpqUmVq/trsmX8FebedlAUPEbbw9TZsjxBw1PwZjFbr9lKKR EDYabuqV3RqB8oiaUdx/5k5LB21Xv5XTmsbMVFdqqIi6jslO98R0ADMy7yVaedeY 5TI4zxQn3W9bd8FApwbNeSwhQJzez+snI450izUG29sk2vPHEiXUcgj/oGCRm8aN tvLjBcg1Ye9qx3DuGKvgfbNsjaXhCcjrpyoZJ8T1NTAnYzizEbcSYLGeODXnySaW D6AHW5UXkrAkBWdUbE6DvDtw6CG1Y2cSdNBnRE4jA0LRMEdud+wJQsXPzuUke9Ol T2gFQau3CcsPEbtg5DjRX9VoQckZbvOaE32sCpgV9XXuu/vZKpUm78UO4n3dSItY NJNe1FZbn9g8L8uGFpkqEfHA0IlM87AiBzDdP01iNvxsR2gQBbZTuM2uDLasTvYN ztmoXKLEm0qNrdkSoPTj+NjLatJIY8i69BI1xvjNmq2WFZylgrCiHB6zbdKuyeyB 5MBB4UTIMQl8bz1ai+FrwqAi4EJcTXYSmJirnbiz7GMWtWeFuGcu4FHtu77QZXmR Ff4jkCevwjQLL+ijotALSrZE82I3ai6waiXLwPxU5UhRplYnjgdbHr3Ip1gdK2sl BxnwdA/3oBPyywoHdcco74YT4796gr+xwsKmWT55xKol3vAzQ/yOvl4cGmH7LSWW Nyzuw4NWotBUFrFee/DW6S3KWX+EfoIXQqyH2deRfK9CJ1Hv9r1ZJaalSIe8JEK1 tgy5Selyh15dvIOjNgobr/iEZMFRXaf7Lku/6Pt0DVj1HO9QmCnlZ6tPviTWPSs9 qgK2wZ4nCcal3tj1qAE7ZKQoTBwETX4F7+zg+aKzIx7rNvTunuXQbh/7UqaevRLU kMpMnAo501E8nZQxOrrvQqgRIl90O9hjQnHCwGLMnG/DKbKfMw33E0jAcSn5kq8= =pVlk -END PGP SIGNATURE- # distributed via nettime: no commercial use without permission # nettime is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mail.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nett...@kein.org
nettime New Documentary Film Patent Absurdity: how software patents broke the system
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 FYI - this is all very relevant, considering the financial crisis, the nature of the Bilsky suggests the urgence to leave doors open to new models http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_re_Bilski hopefully Europe won't be so stupid give up to such a patent system. We should fight this absurdity so that it doesn't happens anywhere - and while we are busy with that, it looks like there is a bright future for the BRICO countries eh... - - Forwarded message - New documentary film Patent Absurdity is set to expose how the judicial activism that led to the patenting of software has broken the US patent system's promise of promoting the progress of science and useful arts http://www.fsf.org/news/new-documentary-film-patent-absurdity BOSTON, Massachusetts, USA -- Monday, April 19th, 2010 -- The Free Software Foundation (FSF) today announced the online release of the documentary film Patent Absurdity: how software patents broke the system by independent filmmaker Luca Lucarini. http://patentabsurdity.com/ The film, funded with a grant from the FSF, explores the case of software patents, the history of judicial activism that led to their rise, and the harm being done to software developers and the wider economy. The film is based on a series of interviews conducted during the Supreme Court's review of *in re Bilski*, a case that could have profound implications for the patenting of software. The *Bilski* case before the Supreme Court is really the story of the judicial activism of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, who during the 80s and 90s became dominated by patent lawyers who wanted an expansive reading of patent law. They opened the floodgates to the patenting of software ideas and business methods, previously held by the Supreme Court to be unpatentable subject matter. The price of that activism is being paid by today's programmers, who find it increasingly difficult to write software without risking being sued, and by businesses who have to face increased litigation and legal fees. Software patents block compatibility and standards, make programmers remove useful features, and are the cause of unknown amounts of frustration in the daily life of many individuals, said Ciaran O'Riordan, the director of the End Software Patents campaign, and a technical adviser to the filmmakers. Dr. Robert Shafer, associate professor of medicine at Stanford University, who created a free, publicly available HIV Drug Resistance Database to interpret HIV drug resistance tests and develop new HIV drugs (located at http://hivdb.stanford.edu/), described the film in light of the way software patents have hampered his work: I'm glad to see a film that can explain the harm of software patents. I'm also looking forward to a favorable outcome in the *Bilski* case. However, biomedical researchers, medical care providers, and their patients cannot afford to wait the many years it will take before any Supreme Court decision has a practical effect on existing patents. There is a hardcore group of special interests who profit from the system the way it is now -- the Court of Appeals of the Federal Circuit, patent examiners who essentially receive credit for their work only when they issue or uphold patents, and the patent bar which benefits from cross-licensing and patent litigation regardless of how ridiculous a patent is. One of the saddest aspects of my experience has been to learn that the influence of the patent bar is expanding rapidly within universities through their offices of technology licensing. Featured interviewees in the film include economists Ben Klemens and James Bessen, and legal scholars Dan Ravicher, Eben Moglen and Karen Sandler. The film also includes footage of the press conference at the Supreme Court organized on behalf of plaintiffs Bernard Bilski and Rand Warsaw, and their lawyer J. Michael Jakes. Speaking about the release of the film, Luca Lucarini said, I hope that my film can bring to light the harm that the US patent system is inflicting on our society through software patents. The goal of the documentary is to increase the number of informed citizens educated to take action, and so it has been licensed to allow everyone to share and distribute copies of the film. Patent Absurdity is available under the Creative Commons BY-ND (Attribution-No Derivative Works) license, which encourages sharing and widespread redistribution by all who receive a copy. The film was made entirely with free software, in the Ogg Theora format. Because anyone can show the film, the web site is compiling a list of screenings, including a premiere at the Connecticut Film Festival http://www.ctfilmfest.com.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 hi James, On Thu, Feb 18, 2010 at 02:57:21PM +, James Wallbank wrote: Perhaps a way to ensure that consumers understand the deal with online privacy would be to institute a Law of Symmetrical Privacy - in broad terms, data collectors would have to offer, or withhold, data equally to all markets - individuals as well as government and business. So, if Facebook said that they wouldn't share their email address with other users, they would be obliged equally NOT to share your email address with businesses or institutions. If a business disclosed that they might sell your details to another business, then they would be required also to offer your email address for sale to other individuals (proportionately priced, of course - a single email address might just cost a few pennies). How would you feel about that? I'd personally feel very bad and the reason is best argumented by: a recent lecture prof. Eben Moglen gave at ISOC-NYC, 1h long and worth http://www.isoc-ny.org/?p=1338 from which an interesting quote: Licenses are not the answers to social problems. I speak as a guy who cares a lot about softwre licenses. But I tell you again, licenses are the constitutions of software communities, and they solve problems inside the communities. They are not tools whose primary benefit is to be found in their external consequences. makes me come in mind a paper by prof. Elen Nissenbaum that was presented in the Ars Electronica symposium GOODBYE PRIVACY in 2007: Privacy as Contextual Integrity http://crypto.stanford.edu/portia/papers/RevnissenbaumDTP31.pdf This leveling or equaling of the transaction would make it much easier for consumers to correctly perceive what privacy they were yielding up when interacting with an online service. I think that is easy enough now. Citizens and creatives do perceive the lack of privacy, they just don't see yet all consequences to come and not even the ruling cast (ops, is it more polite to say policy makers?) sees it. OTOH opening such a market to private interests (partially true already for Facebook et similia) will definitely place Mafia-like bisniss into a better position to operate. As of economic models, I suggest you flip your line of thought and start thinkering over an economy of mistery - funny enough, a term circulating among Neo-Platonists and Gnostics, later swapped into mistery of economy to serve theologists better ciao - -- jaromil, dyne.org developer, http://jaromil.dyne.org GPG: B2D9 9376 BFB2 60B7 601F 5B62 F6D3 FBD9 C2B6 8E39 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iQQcBAEBCAAGBQJLg6bFAAoJEAslGzkIl3JR1bcf+wRtzQRlUJdD5PRHGVwkNpRd L/jMX8lYkXX0NdVBwz2M6aLZwVe2VeKQ9IMX/Xet2eoOsKUI0oaHboUzTfO00kEZ jOUMLSVJlnhuPkp/S+F8lROvUWJR9M1wuXGa8PSXlxnqI1/hUorbLDIFj17PhZ30 zpBXUKRVh5FytssCGRKCswnrsvJzJsAG0ZtgFYkOzCOWJbeSKvhOG+4FR+LEdI3w zSddRcaoLtzRd9sT789xX9xGLAt6x8ZlGXYCo8h29KDt0gyX8FLicbODzEUXkTmq 6QbZR4/XeXTURwDmlQsYOAo1+sD14HxyAURmYnnf6I8Jte1lwUcdp43TMbaBveHU caqikx8OnBc7s2152Emk7JzLtzBrtcyja7zFWQLdyB9TB70IZu8AKkf0PahoJabs 1j0lmkuCHlqgpdTnSwGKYmLAst9ht6Upt9qkfdjCPYoCRJXKxivlX2hUBwjnLiPH hvEyjoUakRjNnp8UNB1lHstaZaoRdBG12y7WvjnTJsGBzYmdRfcUuy25QfsdoDtn 8L+VJkiGgb3qqTL/PqlsSA56Wno6ajAUVOISoZaNmANS8FJ6dmYLPmVbpnBdWUGB 1qv7x61Nm35lhcbjGkcD1aBt6eKYcpdxBxz3cYufGqnFLWzZLM3FT9j2mbtmSR0q du2cdsz8X3pTfBXyO+IBCDD+MeW/vnty0PHrOvS2NgMmYKSeAwZ2N5KMSWrzNJgv /C4WDC0PkBWrHxRapdtmsrqoP8iQQxhZOHgwLgdNLCsQWGlnMbDLBYRUEr5OmPsI KfexQznR71naEPaXyW/rziOwMAcfo+gtOcdiNQ5S7LEroOevcqlqtF0ZpsenqgGz gr4jMQTrdJ05G+O09kBtpYFmAbxBTpjexHSdA00h4ZUYwyOckF57I2fQ5+oZqxt5 qkU5wxTQARoKPIRjSMtE+Irwb4tG7Uacr2vjFOQUk4GozJtxpt4n4DuARxmt6yeu 9ZHGlZ8YtPGRXIqrEsFW8qUaXcBqDSII0l9Y3qSZVDNhiWQ01V76C5MJQrv7+RgQ xUS68Y7yJh+W70By8AEotD8VYS0WD6zLi3bluJGOv/FWrQttcZlXx453kaf8sShU J10+pFkjT3y3ZKWUZiIeasD/U9yMrcxHHnbg7EakyKfUapIpVQJvt2ocZGlo2N4o kVunD+uCAad8Wk256pMtNlD2BLTZYjURzH6xohx9kFrN33KuOWcPh7oExoP/f76y Wt65dZZNJps1mxelSz61+6ak01SgCDKevN5lZL4NFckRazzlE6UmioO1cSGotzyO 4W9m/MmLI+pXsBUs8cUstPHU0HZG+Z/GaUvxVoTFm+SGa3LNYSBZhccGaJhe3Aw= =gGGd -END PGP SIGNATURE- # distributed via nettime: no commercial use without permission # nettime is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mail.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nett...@kein.org

Just a few days ago the Turkish parliament passed a law making May 1 a national holiday again. It was taken off the public holiday list following a military coup in 1980. Still, there is very little coverage on the media about this news and what is happening in Istanbul today: an unnatural silence, while even the Istanbul Indymedia website has been defaced[2] by some religious fundamentalists. It seems that protests in Turkey are cut out from media coverage, while several social networking websites are unreachable from within the country. A recent article Deepening Crisis, Growing Resistance: Workers in Turkey[3] gives a good overview on the situation and the plans for this 1st may, while the following press agency is all I could find so far about today's riots: ISTANBUL (AFP)—Several hundred May Day demonstrators clashed with police in central Istanbul Friday in battles which saw water cannon fired and several arrests made. Turkish riot police staged three charges against hundreds of demonstrators in the Sisli district of the city who had hurled rocks at security forces, according to correspondents at the scene. Several thousand union and left wing activists took part in the annual protest. ciao [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taksim_Square_massacre [2] http://istanbul.indymedia.org [3] http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/buglalilar270409.html - -- jaromil, dyne.org developer, http://jaromil.dyne.org GPG: 779F E8B5 47C7 3A89 4112 64D0 7B64 3184 B534 0B5E -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkn68zgACgkQe2QxhLU0C16dhwCgvQq6iFeRQ/WCUU7BYWpYuR/o ZXcAn3aVFVePAbQD5V0Ht1b7YFCWKP8I =q7B1 -END PGP SIGNATURE- # distributed via nettime: no commercial use without permission # nettime is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mail.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nett...@kein.org

There is nocuratorial equivalent of Deletionism (see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deletionism ), although I guess land art could get bulldozed. Deletionists should be more relaxed: when let alone art might simply crack by itself, as it happened yesterday to Toyo Ito's fountain in Pescara http://is.gd/jOPz anyway there is maybe an equivalent in Media Art already, with the episode of Janez Jansa performance at Transmediale 2008 http://mail.sarai.net/pipermail/reader-list/2008-January/011910.html quickly re-admitted after the polemics gained momentum http://osdir.com/ml/culture.internet.nettime/2008-02/msg4.html From the Meta-Wiki article on Deletionism: Deletionism is a philosophy held by some Wikipedians that favors clear and relatively rigorous standards for accepting articles, templates or other pages to the encyclopedia... They are more likely to suggest that it is unnecessary to create individual articles on topics that are difficult or impossible to reliably expand in adherence to the verifiability and citation policies of the encyclopedia. then it might be interesting to confront Deletionism with the making of a new article on Holocaust Denial (H-Leugnung) on the German wikipedia: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Holgerjan/H-Leugnung (and BTW was the guy that hammered the toe of Michelangelo's David in Firenze a Deletionist Artist?) ciao - -- jaromil, dyne.org developer, http://jaromil.dyne.org GPG: 779F E8B5 47C7 3A89 4112 64D0 7B64 3184 B534 0B5E -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkmaycEACgkQe2QxhLU0C14mxQCgmWfMCqCc+zOBuGeKR8/64KG2 dIQAnjkClWLr24BygFNhEAMS3VH3Ezsj =qbl5 -END PGP SIGNATURE- # distributed via nettime: no commercial use without permission # nettime is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mail.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nett...@kein.org

In this case, it could be more productive if the pragmatics could be left aside for a moment and politics of participation be problematised. This does not mean, as Brian warned about, the simple anarchist withdrawal from development, but an engaging in the negotiation I tried to outline above. engaging negotiation.. true that we have plenty of videos like this Hackmeeting documentary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvFGZcYoqhk uploaded on public/commercial platforms for which the biggest problem i see is the licensing of the video codec and the availability of players capable of reproducing it. but still, with some quality loss that we might overcome by taking direct contact with authors, we can still download this video, re-encode it with a free codec and keep it in our archives. further, something i just posted on spectre that can also be mentioned here: the answer of Monty Python to those who have been putting on youtube their videos all these years http://www.youtube.com/MontyPython as discussed in slashdot's thread just today: http://entertainment.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/11/19/201255 what this has to do with activism now? i guess attitude. eventually an attitude of using public spaces, which can't be blamed, less than ever as the inefficiency of activist made (liberated?) infrastructures. are there any such liberated spaces? and what is really neutral, the space or the re-usable infrastructure? wikipedia is not neutral, mediawiki is the software that it runs. what makes it universal is the fact they provide the tools used to make it, so that anyone can the day youtube will release its web-based CMS software and switch to a free codec we will probably be much closer than we are now with this negotiation, it might even not be needed anymore. reducing duplicate efforts? oh that will never happen :) at its best it will share code components; after all.. uniformity is boring and coexisting variety might become less competitive and therefore more efficient in future. ciao - -- jaromil, dyne.org developer, http://jaromil.dyne.org GPG: 779F E8B5 47C7 3A89 4112 64D0 7B64 3184 B534 0B5E -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkkkpzAACgkQe2QxhLU0C17NvACcDBgNlA0vMvHYHTIlSlZTBz9R daoAoMTisyJDCKjwRiM/HY3vwxt4u4sw =t2rD -END PGP SIGNATURE- # distributed via nettime: no commercial use without permission # nettime is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mail.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Naeem and Theor, sorry to say, but yours are just rants ignoring the real reasons impeding the improvements you look for: licensing restrictions imposed by commercial monopolies of multimedia formats on-line.

nettime The Vaffanculo Day
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 re all, worth to mention (i miss Lorenzo's italian-mambo!), as it filled up many hearts in Italy and, despite the strong opposition of the regime, also some newspapers: the first V-day (8 september 2007) - for which Beppe Grillo writes Today marks the start of the new Renaissance forged by Italians. On 8 September 1943, the Royals scuttled off to Pescara. Behind them they left Italy in a shambles. Today nothing has changed. Parliament is occupied by unauthorized people chosen by Party secretaries. They no longer scuttle away - they don't need to. They live in a world apart, with body guards and television. They are the unauthorized ones. Nobody elected them. They have taken away our freedom to vote for a candidate. believe me when i say you shouldn't take the above just as the same old italian rant or demagogical operation: it is developing in a big and non-exclusive grassroot movement producing a very detailed and objective analysis of the italian political status, without omitting the necessary irony and sarcasm to oil such a monstrous dialectical process. i remember Beppe Grillo in TV when i was a kid, he appeared few times every several years reaching incredible audience shares and success, but promptly censored and banned from the media after every performance. now he incarnates the phenomenon - seen already in Sabina Guzzanti's ri8t tv program - for which italian satyrical scene needs to cover a political void to disclose national facts which would never be told otherwise... http://www.beppegrillo.it/english.php after a buildup that lasted months, starting with Beppe's speech at the European Parlament, the V-DAY was filling up piazza maggiore in Bologna 5 days ago and it's now gathering results and reactions in various contexts. some people thinks it will just dry up as yet-another-italian-party; or what else? BTW nice post about gladio! Beppe was one of the first persons ever mentioning that in public, back in the days it was a secret... ciao - -- (_ http://jaromil.dyne.org _) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFG6Uk/e2QxhLU0C14RAoR1AKDtKgpNQVnsvolfwobopOCzEXd/UwCgrKQA xcuTjq4R8HS4g0ue29dPYRU= =DjmB -END PGP SIGNATURE- # distributed via nettime: no commercial use without permission # nettime is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and info nettime-l in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
