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.
