Syndicate: the greatest hits |
Dear Syndicalists, Association APSOLUTNO from Novi Sad, Yugoslavia, would like to inform you about the first CD Rom art project made in Yugoslavia, which was presented yesterday in Novi Sad. The next presentation will be in Cinema Rex in Belgrade on 4/3. The Greatest Hits by association APSOLUTNO The Greatest Hits (TGH) is a CD Rom project which in an ironic way deals with the idea of progress at the end of the millennium. This concept is developed in two fields of human achievement, digital technology on the one hand and medicine on the other, using the notion of a virus. Both computer and human viruses are elements which disturb the balance in the system, computer or human, however sophisticated and protected the system may be. The emergence of a greater and greater number of both types of viruses at the end of the millennium indicates the boomerang effect, i.e. the vulnerability of man and technology despite the progress achieved. The Greatest Hits (TGH) contains two TOP TEN lists of these two types of viruses, composed according to the statistical data about their harmful effects (hits, or blows which 'hit' the mankind). The project itself is conceived as a kind of a virus, which plays a game with the viewer, and is, as any other virus, completely user-unfriendly. association APSOLUTNO apsolutn@EUnet.yu www.apsolutno.opennet.org
