<nettime-ann> Neural 15th anniversary: issue #31 + joint action with S.W.A.M.P.

[Alessandro Ludovico <a.ludovico@neural.it>]

.
Neural magazine celebrates 15 years of publishing with issue #31 and 
joining S.W.A.M.P. group (Doug Easterly and Matt Kenyon) for a 
collective micro-printing action.

Subscribers will receive a numbered/limited edition of a S.W.A.M.P.'s 
"Notepad" sheet of paper with an envelope. It looks like an everyday 
yellow legal paper, but each line is constructed of micro-printed 
text and contains the personal details of Iraqi civilian casualties.

Subscribers are triggered to write a letter or memo or draw a picture 
on it and send it to the White House, then signing up for a free 
replacement sheet on the S.W.A.M.P. website, if they want. Once in 
circulation each sheet then acts as a "Trojan horse" - slipping the 
unwanted and unacknowledged civilian body count data into official 
governmental archives.

This is a joint action that proves how paper and pixel together can 
make the difference.
