"... I've certainly seen the failure of street protests against the Iraq war in the past five years in the U.S. Marches and protests were not being covered in the mass media, so people lost interest in coming out. The last protest I went to in about 2007 was dismal and pathetic. I made a work subsequently called AntiWar404 that features hundreds of abstracts lifted from pro-peace and anti-war websites that have disappeared in the past five years.What I've learned from following the online aspects of the anti-war movement is that there are moments when people will move out of their ideological comfort zone to endorse resistance, and when that moment passes, it's much more difficult to build a movement. Unfortunately at present it seems that this arc of enthusiasm is governed largely by the corporate mass media coverage of current events. But to the extent that social media, independent media and other cooperative initiatives can be used to catalyze social actions, there is some potential to bypass the futility of the spectacular idiocy that prevails today"...
