Syndicate: <net.net.net> TACTICAL EMBARRASSMENT |
CalArts and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles present RTMark and special guests Fiambrera, Wednesday March 8 at 8:00 PM. The presentation "Tactical Embarrassment" is free to the public and will be in the MOCA Ahmanson Auditorium, 250 South Grand Ave. RTMark (http://rtmark.com) is a brokerage that benefits from limited liability just like any other corporation. Using this principle, RTMark supports the sabotage of corporate products by channeling funds from investors to workers. As ordinary corporations are solely and entirely machines to increase their shareholders' wealth (often to the detriment of culture and life) so RTMark is a machine to improve its shareholders' culture and life (sometimes to the detriment of corporate wealth). Andrei Codrescu, prolific writer and National Public Radio commentator says of RTMark: "RTMark continues to gain territory in the ongoing battle against faceless corporations and what used to be known as human beings, now in the process of becoming corporate appendages.... I must congratulate RTMark ...on its victories in cyberspace and in the secretive lands of Corporate Art, where their advances have been nothing short of stunning." Fiambrera (http://www.sindominio.net/fiambrera) are a collective who live and work in Valencia, Sevilla and Madrid. Billboards, dog shit, airport signs, flamenco music and video games are some of the political tools Fiambrera use to reinforce a will for grassroots radical democracy. Together RTMark and Fiambrera are developing new strategies for today's artist, tying artistic work to real political and social challenges -- not just referring to them-- but helping to build them *from the inside.* <net.net.net> is a series featuring net artists, net activists and net collectives from around the world. The series, which continues through May 2000, brings together for the first time in the United States artists and activists known throughout the world for their low tech and interventionist strategies of experimental and radical cultural production, collaboration, and critique on and off the Internet. The series is a collaborative effort between the CalArts Programs in Photography in the School of Art, the Integrated Media Program, and MOCA.
