Art in Resistance

Call for Submissions

What should the No Borders/Freedom of Movement/Solidarity with Immigrants Struggle in the U.S. look like?

CAROB (central arizona radicals opposing borders) is calling for submissions for a zine to answer this question and more.

There is a lack of discussion on strategy among radicals/anarchists/anti-capitalists/anti-authoritarians regarding borders in the U.S.

We are looking for
essays, interviews, proposals, articles about experiences

Think about address some of these questions:

what should we be doing?

what has worked and what has not?

what does solidarity with undocumented immigrants look like?

what can we learn from other movements?

what are the targets/audience/focus? the state, white supremacist groups, whiteness, citizens, capitalism, etc?

how do we organize on a larger scale around these issues?

how does a struggle for no borders fit into larger struggles?

what are the particular roles of people with privilege?

what is an accurate analysis of what's going on?

email carob@riseup.net with questions or submissions

"Opening" Night at Arse Electronica

"Who wants to get fucked by a robot?"

I'm in SF this weekend going to Arse Electronica. If you're interested in the intersection of art, technology and sex you should definitely drop by the conference.

Last night was the first event and it was really amazing. Even though it was rather disorganized, with lots of improvisation and not so hot scheduling, there were two great performances. The Electronic Orifice Orchestra demonstrated their kegel instruments, which are inserted into orifices and played by varying pressure on your kegel muscles. Their costumes were awesome.

Definitely the highlight of the evening, though, was the Kink.com demo of Fucking Machines...

I'm going to Arse Electronica this weekend!

I'm so excited about Arse Electronica, which I'm going to tomorrow, driving up to sf. But, I had a long day, so I'll just give you a link to read more...

Okupa! - Rough Cut 1.2

Since video.indymedia.org is down for a while and has been down for a while, I decided to go ahead and mirror the film okupa, made by myself and The Platform, on the borderlands Hacklab server. So, here it is. Feel free to download it and screen it. I'm probably going to work on it more and finish it up, but its pretty far along now.

mini-review of my new behringer bcd3000

Today my BCD3000 arrived in the mail, just in time for my friends' birthday party and going away party. I was excited to get this mixer to use for podcasting, but mostly for improving my hip-hop dj'ing skills. Probably the most exciting feature about it is the ability to scratch mp3's in traktor, but just being able to play and cue music through mp3's really opens up a serious dj'ing ability beyond just using a regular mixer.

Overall, I'm very happy with it. Right out of the box, I just plugged it in, installed traktor 3 le, fired it up, navigated to my mp3 library and it worked like a charm. All of the mixer controls interface with traktor seamlessly. For playing and cueing music, it is amazing...

Regeneracíon Radio Under Attack

A good friend of mine works with the Regeneracíon Radio collective in Mexico City. It was good to hear her voice in this announcement about the situation there. Give it a listen, its an awesome summary of what's going on and its a great reminder of how important autonomous radio is.
