Franco Berardi Bifo - The time for indignation is over
I would like to talk about something that everybody knows, but that, so it seems, no one has the boldness to say. That is, that the time for indignation is over. Those who get indignant are already starting to bore us. Increasingly, they seem to us like the last guardians of a rotten system, a system without dignity, sustainability or credibility. We don’t have to get indignant anymore, we have to revolt.HERE

Fellow Prisoners by John Berger

We Demand The Impossible: An Interview with John Jordan and Gavin Grindon. - Marc Garrett
"This guide is not a road map or instruction manual. It’s a match struck in the dark, a homemade multi-tool to help you carve out your own path through the ruins of the present, warmed by the stories and strategies of those who took Bertolt Brecht’s words to heart: “Art is not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it.”

Media Artist Contingency Plan - Randy Sarafan
Does the US Secret Police not approve of your art? Are you a media artist who has gotten on the bad side of a private multinational corporation? Perhaps your government does not approve of the open source co-working tool that you host? Or maybe, you are simply just a troublemaker? Any which way, when Big Brother comes a-knockin’ on your door wanting to steal your computer, you need a contingency plan.

Italian artist sentenced for his net art work
Recently a significant event happened that may threaten the freedom of expression in contemporary art in Italy. A young Italian artist, Luca Lo Coco, was condemned the seizure of furniture in his house, following a legal dispute with Giancarlo Politi, director of Flash Art, one of the most important art magazines in Italy.
It all started in 2006, when the 26 years old Luca Lo Coco, living in Palermo (Sicily), created the net.art work www.ashartonline.com, which parodised Politi’s website www.flashartonline.com. In his website, Lo Coco expressed a severe criticism of the contemporary art system in Italy, of which Flash Art was the fullest expression.
After a court case lasting four years, Luca Lo Coco in 2010 was ordered to pay legal fees. Since the young artist was not able to meet the payment, in May 2011, Luca, visibly shaken, had the distraint of goods, as a reimburse for the court battle. The net.art website www.ashartonline.com was seized as well, by order of the Court of Palermo. In case of the website had not been obscured, Luca would be fined 1,500 euro per day.
