[Nettime-bold] Trial dates |
.comrades The 'incite to stalk' trial of the online performance art troupe The Lumpen Illuminates is due to take place on the 25.3.01. And it is more important than ever for any cyber art common-unity to manifest itself right now before ignorant judicial philistines with no understanding of the avant -garde condemn the company's director to a lengthy prison term for daring to examine the psycho-sociological pathologies (fostered by the state and its employers) creatively and experimentally by detourning and splicing psychiatric jargon and official computer help lines in a somewhat more than obvious if not down right crude way (the main page of the s.a.c site apart from quite clearly redirecting the communist manifesto also screams a perfectly obvious disclaimer heralding 'A COMMUNIQUÉ SHUNS STUDY' ! such a basic attack upon our right to a freedom of expression on the web could -if this test case succeeds- be a threat to every one of us. Please help by sending your e-mails of support to the channel fo r website who have agreed to send the mother of all petitions (it has been collecting since september) on the actual day of the trial itself.We have enlisted the support of several veterans of online infringements and at this vital stage for democracy have pledged to throw everything into our defence fund no matter what it may cost es. Lets act now it could be you next.
