PROGRAMME
Digital Workers Union (Richard Barbrook) A new initiative to establish a trade union for workers in the broad field of digital media. (Barbrook: 'The really ironic response is that trade unions are pre-governmental organisations given that all the Western European social democratic parties emerged from organised labour!!')
Culture Board (Bulgaria) (Luchezar Boyadjiev) Modelled on the IMF, the Culture Board would watch over the national cultural policies and guard certain standards for the development of cultural life. http://www.bar.bg/cultureboard (press release Culture Board) http://www.nettime.org/nettime.w3archive/199809/msg00097.html (interview Boyadjiev)
Interfund (Rasa Smite, Manu Luksch) The Interfund is envisioned as a co-operative, decentralised, non-located, virtual but real, self-support structure for small and independent initiatives in the field of culture and digital media. http://www.nettime.org/nettime.w3archive/199812/msg00009.html
Y2K Industries (RTMark) Y2K Industries is a corporate-driven Post-Governmental Organization (PGO) that is sufficiently global to count as a total solution, and sufficiently intelligent to be very interesting. It incorporates the best of past power strategies, governmental and non-. For example, its scapegoat (the Y2K "bug") is not human, and hence brings none of the pesky P.R. problems of the human scapegoat; even better, that scapegoat is (fictionally or not) everywhere (at least everywhere in the 10% of the world that has access to high technology), and Y2K Industries is as a consequence "everywhere" too. http://y2k.rtmark.com/
Art Power Database (Daniel Garcia Andujar) A web resource where you can find an extensive database and a collection of tools that allow artist to choose between attack, defense, database and tools sections. icmp scan_bps scan_brute forceattack_packet sniffer_war dialer_email bomber_nuke_flood_ping_winnuke_websnaring_sniff crack_hack_encryption_phreak_social engineering_spoofing http://www.irational.org/tttp/
