Netcu Watch // The cult of the killer ape.

This is the year in which Charles Darwin’s 200th birthday will be celebrated and the 150th anniversary of his “the Origin of Species” one of the most important books ever written. Evolution, the transmogrification of primordial slime into dogs, cats, humans and everything else is surely proof that we are all interconnected and indeed transient as species adapt and change. In fact if time on Earth (itself one planet among billions) were condensed into one year humans would arrive at 23.45 on New Year’s Eve.Lowkey @ Gaza demo, London, 10th Jan 2009

08-01-2009 13:24
It is generally acknowledged today that every single individual freedom, including of course academic freedom, has been effectively undermined, both on account of the systemic limitations imposed by the form of the system of market economy developed in neoliberal globalisation, and on account of the corresponding limitations imposed by the semi-totalitarian transformation of representative “democracy” in the aftermath of the 9/11 events. (…) unless universities are directly controlled by society itself (which, alone, could express the general interest) and the academic community, i.e., teachers and students, no real academic freedom is possible. (…) A democratic paideia, therefore, presupposes a struggle for radical change not just in the educational structures but also in the socio-economic structures, (…) there is little (if any) relation between market needs and human needs in the market economy system, in which what determines “market needs” is crucially conditioned by privileged social groups, through the concentration of income, wealth and economic power at their hands. It is therefore only within the context of an inclusive democracy, which institutionalises an equal distribution of political and economic power among all citizens that one could meaningfully talk about academic freedom.Literary Soirée with Thomas Glave and Rommi Smith

Art Not Oil has prepared a response on various fronts. We're asking people if they're up for
making an artwork of some kind as a response. This could be an image, song, film or poem
to appear on our website, or to be printed on a postcard or something similar. We're open
to ideas. (Unfortunately, we aren't able to pay for your work, but we have no wish to
possess it!) If this is of interest, we'd love to see it as soon as possible, as 'Oedipus' runs
until January 2009 only.
Here's where you can find the new and previous images:
