Last week Nettimers frolicked in the real space/time continuum on the
|
|||
|
Slovenian coast in the town of Piran where the following bullets were
|
|||
|
established:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<EFBFBD> Nettime declares Information War.
|
|||
|
<EFBFBD> We denounce pan-capitalism and demand reparations. Cyberspace is where
|
|||
|
your bankruptcy takes place.
|
|||
|
<EFBFBD> Nettime launches crusade against data barbarism in the virtual holy land.
|
|||
|
<EFBFBD> We celebrate the re-mapping of the Ex-East/Ex-West and the return to
|
|||
|
geography.
|
|||
|
<EFBFBD> We respect the return to "alt.cultures" and pagan software structures
|
|||
|
("It's normal!").
|
|||
|
<EFBFBD> Deprivatize corporate content, liberate the virtual enclosures and storm
|
|||
|
the content castles!
|
|||
|
<EFBFBD> Refuse the institutionalization of net processes.
|
|||
|
<EFBFBD> We reject pornography on the net unless well made.
|
|||
|
<EFBFBD> We are still, until this day, rejecting make-work schemes and libertarian
|
|||
|
declarations of independence.
|
|||
|
<EFBFBD> NGOs are the future oppressive post-governments of the world.
|
|||
|
<EFBFBD> We support experimental data transfer technology.
|
|||
|
<EFBFBD> Participate in the Nettime retirement plan, zero work by age 40.
|
|||
|
<EFBFBD> The critique of the image is the defense of the imagination.
|
|||
|
<EFBFBD> Nettime could be Dreamtime.
|
|||
|

|||
