--------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE THING [newsletter] December 7, 1999 Vol.1, Nr.5 http://bbs.thing.net --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lt. Crack here with the last Thing communique of the decade: [news] [1] Thing Y2K auction: Yes folks, it's on! The Y2K auction at http://auction.thing.net. Starting December 13, you can bid for 10 days, until December 23, on _real_ artworks by leading contemporary artists, such as Momoyo Torimitsu, Peter Halley, Craig Kalpakjian, Michel Auder, Janine Gordon, Noritoshi Hirakawa, Rainer Ganahl, Daniel Pflumm, Miltos Manetas, Franz Stauffenberg, and many of the other usual suspects. The proceeds will be used as a capital injection to fuel THE THING's dubious cultural activities and to secure its position as the leading non-spatial delivery device for contemporary culture. So vote for TT with your credit card and get something you can actually hang on your wall. http://auction.thing.net [2] Toywar: The toywar heats up. Last week Judge John P. Shook of the Californian State Court issued a preliminary injunction to bar etoy from using their domain name "etoy.com" pending final adjudication. In the meantime you can safely go to: http://146.228.204.72:8080, which is faster anyway since you don't use stupid DNS.
