Anonymous Comrade writes "NEURO -- networking europe

From February 27.-29, 2004 the second version of the makeworlds festival will take place in Muffathalle, Munich (DE). A new generation of media and network initiatives from all over Europe and different parts of the world present and work on their projects in a broad interactive framework that explores the different conceptual and practical idioms used to articulate and create new social, political and artistic practices. Originating within the networking culture of open communications and free exchange the event aims to connect contemporary debates on mobility, migration and social movements with new media instruments, information and communication technologies. NEURO will be a major opportunity for forming creative alliances - within a coherent discursive field - between all those that share the aspiration to raise theory and activity to a level adequate to the practice of digital generations.

"Advertising, treated as commercial speech and invested with First Amendment rights, enables giant private economic entities, in direct proportion to their command of resources, to shape national economic activity as well as national consciousness. The needs of individuals -– actual individuals –- hardly are congruent with the goals of billion-dollar companies.” –- Howard Schiller, Culture, Inc.

New York City’s public spaces are under seige by government collusion with private interests, in a business arrangement that would clearly undermine democratic principle and practice in the informational-cultural sphere.

WSIS Press Release

Geneva03 Collective


The World Summit On Infomation Society (WSIS) takes place in Geneva from the 10th-12th December, 2003. While the official agenda of this UN/ITU Summit talks about free access to information, the digital divide and equality of opportunities, in reality its doors are closed, its discussions exclusive and the agendas of those who attend it concealed [dissimulé]. What is more, the right to demonstrate and protest has been suspended in Geneva at this time as the usual parade of despots and tyrants fly in to Switzerland to define policy for their own citizens, and the rest of the world, based on the agendas of corporate multinations, media conglomerates and infrastructure owners.
