Very funny, as an old activist (four years in jail, etc, etc), I am
fully conscient nothing can be achieved by sheer will or alone.
Bauhaus was the expression of a special time, the Weimar republic and
it's contradictions, the Factory was the expression of Warhol carisma
and his need of an arena for his own productions. We need other
expressions and other arenas, I am discussing in -empyre the value of
the new virtual worlds as frames for activism and art. Many argue than
Second Life can transform itself to one of those creative hubs I long
to, but I have been in SL several times and never been attracted to
it, a bit too sterile and chic for me :)
But I am game if someone is interested in a virtual or not virtual Bauhaus...

with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you
will always long to return.
