The first is the organization of a consumer environment for the immediate satisfaction of anticipated desires, with the effect of eliminating desire as such, and creating an atmosphere of suspended disbelief where entire populations move zombie-like and intellectually silent beneath exaggerated images of their unconscious drives. The second consequence, as we have seen with such violence in recent years, is the simple removal of those who might trouble this forcibly tranquilized landscape with any kind of disturbing presence or political speech.https://xlterrestrials.netlify.app/posts/1144/Tue, 26 Aug 2008 15:04:00 +0200https://xlterrestrials.netlify.app/posts/1144/((( We frequently post Radical Blurbs, i.e. recommended EVENTS as Podopolog entries, but this page can be used to keep track of it all in more Chronological order.

There is heavy resistance full with humor and full-on attack, at least as far as museum sectors can allow for any serious public discourse and deconstructions. Exhibition and forums take place in Wien’s institutional culture epicenter here in Wien known as the Museums Quartier.

There’s a number of empty buildings in the town due in part to work-migration to the capital Zagreb, and a number of them are former military spaces.

And it seems useful to use the podopolog for thinking aloud, even if it hasn’t yet developed into a forum as yet.

Incredible street art group called The Playground had some fantastic stencils around the town. Some overtly political, like the references to the toxic spill at the Rosa Montana mine, and “Vlad for President 2004″ referencing the Count that spawned the legend of Dracula, who had a penchant for impaling his enemies. While that’s the story that often comes to mind first when anyone mentions Transylvania, the warm hospitality and poetic contemplation of the Romanians is much more what one can expect to encounter in the region.https://xlterrestrials.netlify.app/posts/5/Thu, 27 Jul 2006 12:52:00 +0200https://xlterrestrials.netlify.app/posts/5/It was a little difficult for online access during the Transylvanian part of the tour, so now that i am in Zagreb and on my way to the coast for a multimedia fest with a variety of radio and tactical media workshops ( see: http://mmkamp.org/ ) , i hope that i will be able to plog more frequently and describe the fantastic encounters in Romania. And fotos to upload…yep. what’s up with this %#$ wordpress upload … a task to unravel tomorrow.https://xlterrestrials.netlify.app/posts/4/Sat, 15 Jul 2006 12:50:00 +0200https://xlterrestrials.netlify.app/posts/4/Yes, we’ve reached Videodrome levels in the Magic Geekdom ( sitting in the park at Ferenc Liszt Ter jonesing for available Wi-Fi), but i might mention that this is hardly a Magyar epidemic, where they still gather in public space to be in the company of tangible friends til dawn. So the lo-tekker that I am still can’t bring this wiley wordpress byte-slop to heed my calls… that is, no images yet, but nevermind that… it’s called WORDpress right and we might as well reJoyce in the plog as Burroughsian virus.https://xlterrestrials.netlify.app/posts/3/Fri, 14 Jul 2006 19:13:00 +0200https://xlterrestrials.netlify.app/posts/3/Ok, here it is … I’m diving into the XL terrestrials plog , having landed in the east blok and ready to rip. 2nd day in Budapest and fresh from The House Of Terror exhibition on Andrassy Ut, where both the Nazis and the Soviet Union set up their little shop of oppression. This building was HQ for the conquering of body, mind and spirit of the Hungarian people. Now turned into a museum and Haunted Mansion FOR REAL : Enough documentation and emotions to fill the wordpress world for weeks to come, but hey there’s no time for that here cause there are new systems of oppression needing urgent deconstructions and arts in action and i’m supposed to premiere my Next Level plans next week and I got plenty to tweak there.
