[NetBehaviour] Not quite so dismal

[Randall Packer]

Hi Dave… I would like to add that there is always the proactive strategy: form your own artist-driven government agency; and create your own artist-driven media. As media artists, we have access to the same techniques and tools of propaganda as the mass media, and in most cases we are more adept and nuanced in their use. So I say, we should do what we can to take command of the social and political spaces that are governed & controlled by the powers that be and make them our own. 

I.E.: http://zakros.com/projects/usdat/

Best,

Randall

Thanks Edward. That's really encouraging to see. Glad finally people are speaking out. When government and news media control the discussion we get a really unrepresentative picture. 

Ana I totally agree we have to get to rid of these people - and particularly the bankers.

I've just spent a few minutes looking at the Avaaz
petition/volunteer page on the subject of the refugee crisis:

There are new comments arriving every few seconds. People are
calling on the UK Government to change its stance and volunteering
to help, in many cases volunteering to give house-space to
refugees. I think the government have misjudged the public mood on
this one.
