WELCOME to www.the-revolution.org, the official website of The
Revolution�.
The Revolution is a new political party that aims to be the voice of
the non-voter, the alienated, the visionaries, the rabble, and the
Internet. Combining left and libertarian politics with a kind of post-
political futurism and the love of a good laugh, The Revolution�
intends to bring all the subcultural tribes together to wrest control
of worldwide political systems from the drug warriors, the cultural
ayatollahs, and the various corporate mega-destructo gangs, ranging
from the military-industrial complex to the HMOs ad infinitum.

The Medium Is the Message
A new generation of Bay Area 'culture jammers' manipulates media
manipulation
By Sam Williams
http://216.92.168.63/subvert/asub0003.html
w w w . s u b v e r t i s e . o r g
Subvertise.org, a radical arts gallery on the internet,
is launched on Sunday 20th February 2000.
Created by a global network of artists and campaigners, it exists to
document, develop and promote the artform of the post-corporate
millennium - subvertising.
Subvertise.org displays hundreds of images, photos, banners, billboards
covering a spectrum of issues including transport, war, climate-change,
racism, genetix, corporations, sexuality and globalisation. Many images
are anti-copyright and can be downloaded at high-resolution. All the
images also act as visual links to artists, campaigners and further
information.
Subvertising is the Art of Cultural resistance. It is the 'writing on
the wall', the sticker on the lamppost, the corrected rewording of
Billboards, the spoof T-shirt; but it is also the mass act of defiance
of a street protest. The key process involves redefining or even
reclaiming our environment from the corporate beast.
Whether you need outrageous illustrations for your campaign literature,
graphics for understanding and explaining complex social issues, or
inspiration for an action, this website is for you. Follow the links to
the artist, add your own images or even 'steal this site' as your own
gallery.
www.subvertise.org is where 'Art Refracts Life'.
For further information email: [email protected]
Send submissions (less than 500k) to: [email protected]
Technical questions - Webmaster: [email protected]
Postal address: Subvertise c/o PO Box '68, Oxford, OX3 7YS, ENGLAND.

"Ich rechne damit, dass noch einmal ein emotionaler
Ueberschwang am Wochenende kommen wird, wo sich die
Altlinken, die 68er, die Jungen und die Internet-
Generation noch einmal austoben koennen."
(Wolfgang Schuessel, OEVP)
Waehrend das WMF Pause macht, geht die mikro.lounge
auf Reisen. Am 1. Maerz laedt mikro ins INIT. Dort
werden verschiedene Wiener Medieninitiativen ihre
Projekte vorstellen, ihre internet-spezifischen
Arbeitspraktiken erlaeutern und so einen Einblick
in die unabhaengigen Wiener Medienkulturen geben.
Selbstverst�ndlich findet die Lounge nicht zuletzt
vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen politischen
Situation in �sterreich statt. Die Diskussion soll
jedoch weniger dazu beitragen, das gesinnungsmaessige
Grundrauschen in Sachen Haider noch zu verst�rken.
Vielmehr soll der Versuch unternommen werden, die
derzeitig sich abzeichnende medienpolitische Entwick=
lung, �ber den Wiener Zentralismus hinaus, in den
Blick zu bekommen. Dabei wollen wir moegliche Formen
von medialem Widerstand und deren Aussicht auf
gesellschaftlichen Erfolg debattieren.
In der Folge ist eine Veranstaltung f�r den kommenden
Herbst geplant, die den Stand der Diskussion und der
politischen Entwicklung aufgreifen und weiterfuehren
soll. Genaueres wird noch bekannt gegeben.

Call for Papers
Timing Art - Filtering Art
Dynamics of time and artistic sense
Handicaps in relating old and new media forms of art.
The theory of long periods in history and art.
April 7 - 9, 2000, Bucharest, Romania
The University of Arts Bucharest and the International Center for
Contemporary Art invites submission for the second seminar organized in the
frame of the project: "Reflection of social problems in art and media, after
1989, in Eastern - Central Europe".
The seminar is organized with the support of SCCA Network Program, European
Cultural Foundation, French Institute, Goethe Institute.
This seminar will focus on the shifting of artistic sense between art and
life spheres of contemporary society. The aim is to emphasize the relation
between new and old media and the influence of the new informational space
on traditional values of culture, society, economics and politics.
The structure of the seminar is:
1. Curatorial experience in dealing with border domains (photography,
archiving, recycling of social-cultural information) and with cross border
projects
2. Artistic experience within the dynamic of old and new media and the
theory of long periods in history and art. New media as tools, as branding
elements, as carriers of tactical messages. Is there really anything new
about new media?
3. Management of the information. How to develop new strategies in the
neo-liberal context of the art environment.
Please confirm your participation and the topic of your presentation no
later than March 10, 2000.

M/C Reviews - An ongoing series of reviews
of events in culture and the media.
http://www.uq.edu.au/mc/reviews/
Call for Contributors
M/C Reviews, the companion publication to the University of Queensland's
M/C -- A Journal of Media and Culture, would like to invite contributions
of review articles for its upcoming feature on the millennium.
M/C Reviews aims to provide an ongoing culture and media review forum for
those interested in media and cultural studies. We hope that by
publishing critically engaging reviews (and ethnographies) of every
conceivable cultural form, M/C Reviews will provide a useful barometer of
culture-in-process and also, thereby, opportunities to share the kinds of
pertinent insights that are not usually available in academic
publications. We accept short and medium-length pieces, favouring ones
that are accessible and thought provoking.
In 1999 we have initiated a series of themed feature sections designed
to collect and juxtapose various angles on particular issues. Each
feature consists of five to fifteen review articles. Previous features
(which are still available online) have focussed on Star Wars: The Phantom
Menace, the Stage X Youth Festival, the E-Journal genre, the National
Young Writers' Festival, and Food.
M/C Reviews invites contributions to the upcoming M/C Reviews feature:
Freedom Dreams: Politics and Alternative Media on the Net
Edited by Guy Redden
M/C Reviews would like to invite contributions of review articles for its
upcoming feature issue about politics and alternative media online. M/C R
accepts short and medium-length pieces (500 - 1500 words), favouring ones
that are accessible and thought-provoking. We seek contributions from all
interested and involved parties including activists, journalists, NGOs,
politicians, academics and independent 'netizens'. Critiques, ethnographies
and reports (first and third person), reviews of sites, interviews and any
other original pieces that shed light on this multifaceted theme will all
be relevant.
There seems little doubt that the mobilisation and information-sharing of
concerned groups and individuals over the Internet played a decisive role
in last year's protests against the World Trade Organisation in Seattle.
Daily, massive amounts of political information - from action alerts,
political propaganda, exposs and alternative media reports to independent
research, petitions and press-releases - are circulated through Websites,
Usenet, and email discussion lists. Alternative video sites show hours of
political and protest footage edited from TV; issue-based coalitions are
created nearly overnight and local groups post information relevant to
their communities.
Martin Luther started a social revolution by posting a public message on a
door. Yet it was because that message and others were propagated by the
then-radical new print media that the Reformation took hold. Are we then,
as some suggest, on the brink of a digital political revolution? Are new
forms of alliance/participation-based civil society emerging to counter the
status quo held in place by representative democracy, corporate plutocracy
and the conventional mainstream media? Or are online activists and
alternative journalists largely irresponsible purveyors of conspiracy
theories? How is mainstream politics adapting to the Net? Will 'e-
government' become a reality?
Some suggested topics for 'Freedom Dreams' include:
Cybercampaigns - the roles of computer networks, especially the WWW, email
and Usenet, in high-profile activist campaigns such as those against
landmines, militarism, biotechnology and genetically-modified foods, trade
liberalisation, environmental degradation and economic globalisation (WTO,
MAI), third world debt.
Alternative media - resource and portal sites, alternative news services,
email newsletters, NGO sites, activist sites, challenges to mainstream
media, 'reliability'.
Party politics - political campaigns online (especially the US
presidential), official and unofficial sites, 'Web-slander' and sabotage.
Groups, netizens and alliances - the role of the Net in the running of
organisations, one-to-many communication, creating links, critical mass,
the perils and payoffs of making the online transition, information
overload, exclusion of the netless and the 'globalisation' of activism, the
libertarian impulse.
Government and business - reactions of governments and businesses to online
information flow, their use of the Net, censorship, surveillance, PR,
government and business engagement with online NGO research and lobbies,
attempts at incorporation.
Submission deadline: 3 April 2000.

NEW AT TOL:
Now online: expanded Country Files! TOL's value as a research and reference
tool just got better. This expanded section contains maps and links for all
the 27 countries in the post-communist world. TOL Country Files also

interested in the region.
Features: The Thin Blue Line
by Aliaksiej Shydlouski
http://www.tol.cz/jul99/specr02003.html
"I don't give a damn that somebody has been beaten," says Alyaksandr V., a
Belarusian police officer. "Certainly, I wouldn't like to do it myself ...
but if there is an order, what should I do, refuse? Then I'd be sacked and
have nothing to live on and feed my wife." The police force -- who are
given carte blanche in terms of their treatment of civilians -- is one of
the more sinister arms of President Alyaksandr Lukashenka's rule. An
exclusive report from Shydlouski, who in August 1997 was sentenced to 18
months in prison for writing anti-government graffiti ("Lukashenka is a
dictator" and "Long Live Belarus").
Features: Independent Thinking
by Zeljko Ivanovic
http://www.tol.cz/jul99/specr02002.html
President Milo Djukanovic is feeling the heat from all sides over the
question of independence -- pressure from Montenegrin politicians,
reluctance from the West, and the atmosphere of increasing panic in Serbia
are making things all the more pressing. But despite the success of the
convertible mark and the growing popular support for independence,
Djukanovic is still playing it safe. The wild card, of course, is President
Slobodan Milosevic, who is taking advantage of the division in Montenegro
to maintain tension.
Opinions: Nowhere to Hide after Haider
by Lubos Palata
http://www.tol.cz/opina/haider.html
Western Europe's uproar over the inclusion of the far-right Freedom Party
in Austria's new governing coalition is also a warning for the EU candidate
countries where similar political groupings hold a strong position. As even
the EU Enlargement Commissioner Gunther Verheugen admitted, the current
conflict with Austria is "preparation" for similar problems that could
occur with the applicant states.
Media: Clashes on the Final Frontier
by Emil Danielyan
http://www.tol.cz/feb00/nagorno.html
"You should have seen what was being done to NATO and U.S. official sites
during the Kosovo crisis," says Vahan Mkhitarian of the Armenian Computer
Center. "That was a war." But though he and other officials and pundits are
quick to downplay the recent hack attacks between Armenia and Azerbaijan,
the recent retaliation from Armenian hackers demonstrate the deep-seated
ire between the two nations over Nagorno-Karabakh.
Books: Shock Without Therapy
by Iulian Robu
http://www.tol.cz/books/bkfeb001.html
"Of the two possible paths for transformation, the slow, Chinese one, and
the Polish 'shock therapy,' we have chosen ... the Moldovan way: shock
without therapy," writes Vasile Soimaru in "Caderea premierilor" (The
Falling Prime Ministers). The collection of essays and articles by one of
Moldova's top economists takes an informed look at the sham transition in
Moldova, with an insider's perspective on the corruption and self-interest
that has plagued attempts at reform.
Opinions: Education in Bulgaria Needs Evolution, Not Revolution
by Boyan Biolchev
http://www.tol.cz/opina/educat.html
The newly elected dean of Sofia University argues that the entire
educational system in Bulgaria should be reshaped to meet the country's
changing needs.
A Czech nonprofit dedicated to promoting independent journalism, TOL is
based in Prague and uses a network of local correspondents to provide
unique, cross-regional analysis. TOL was recently named site of the day

CalArts and the Museum of Contemporary Art in
Los Angeles present RTMark and special guests Fiambrera,
Wednesday March 8 at 8:00 PM.
The presentation "Tactical Embarrassment"
is free to the public and will be in
the MOCA Ahmanson Auditorium, 250 South Grand Ave.
RTMark (http://rtmark.com) is a brokerage that benefits
from limited liability just like any other corporation.
Using this principle, RTMark supports the sabotage of
corporate products by channeling funds from investors
to workers. As ordinary corporations are solely and entirely
machines to increase their shareholders' wealth (often to the
detriment of culture and life) so RTMark is a machine
to improve its shareholders' culture and life
(sometimes to the detriment of corporate wealth).
Andrei Codrescu, prolific writer and National Public
Radio commentator says of RTMark:
"RTMark continues to gain territory in the ongoing
battle against faceless corporations and what used
to be known as human beings, now in the process of
becoming corporate appendages.... I must congratulate
RTMark ...on its victories in cyberspace and in the
secretive lands of Corporate Art, where their advances
have been nothing short of stunning."
Fiambrera (http://www.sindominio.net/fiambrera)
are a collective who live and work in Valencia,
Sevilla and Madrid. Billboards, dog shit, airport signs,
flamenco music and video games are some of the political
tools Fiambrera use to reinforce a will for grassroots
radical democracy.
Together RTMark and Fiambrera are developing new
strategies for today's artist, tying artistic work to real
political and social challenges -- not just referring to them--
but helping to build them *from the inside.*
<net.net.net> is a series featuring net artists,
net activists and net collectives from around
the world. The series, which continues through May
2000, brings together for the first time in the United
States artists and activists known throughout the world
for their low tech and interventionist strategies of
experimental and radical cultural production,
collaboration, and critique on and off the Internet.
The series is a collaborative effort between the CalArts
Programs in Photography in the School of Art, the
Integrated Media Program, and MOCA.

Domain is back online: http://www.etoy.com
Since the official capitulation of eToys on January 25,
Network Solution (NSI) told the press that they need an
order from court to put etoy back on the net. After facing
another email firestorm and looking at the eToys disaster
they gave in and reinstalled the DNS without an official order.
How are the etoy.SHARES doing? Well..."STRONG BUY" of course:

[2] STARRET LEHIGH BUILDING HIJACKED BY REAL ESTATE SHARKS
As you might have read in the New York Times real estate section, the
Starret Lehigh building has been sold to a bunch of aggressive real
estate developers. Although they claim they want to turn the building
into a center for art, media and technology, they show no appreciation
for the arts whatsoever. As a matter of fact they already forced out
Paul Miller and Sandro Chia. Leslie Tonkonov is leaving in the fall and
THE THING was strongarmed into moving its office from the 16th Floor to
a new space on the fourth floor. Well, the view is gone, but the
elevator ride is shorter, a big advantage since the elevators are now
filled with all those nerdy dotcom slaves...
To make the story short: We'll be down for a few hours sometime in
early March when we switch the T1 lines over.
Now, the program...
