Today #46mars (April 15) is just two weeks after one million people mobilized in Paris and the movement Nuit Debout continues to grow.

New Political-Economic Possibilities for the Twenty- First Century
The Next System Project is an ambitious multi-year initiative aimed at thinking boldly about what is required to deal with the systemic challenges the United States faces now and in coming decades. Responding to real hunger for a new way forward, and building on innovative thinking and practical experience with new economic institutions and approaches being developed in communities across the country and around the world, the goal is to put the central idea of system change, and that there can be a "next system," on the map.
WikiLeaks releases today the "Investment Chapter" from the secret negotiations of the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) agreement. The document adds to the previous WikiLeaks publications of the chapters for Intellectual Property Rights (November 2013) and the Environment (January 2014).

Dear followers and supporters,
Thank you very much for your support of more than two years, for everything you brought and you keep on bringing to us. Now that we have a hard moment than before, Now that we are tired and sick, now that the government is punishing us and now that we cannot go back to our respective countries, we turn ourselves towards you, the people of the Netherlands. Knowing that we cannot stay here, and we cannot go to other EU countries due to the EU Dublin's agreement (law) what are we going to do? We need politically your support more than before.
A public debate at Framer Framed, Tolhuistuin, Amsterdam, Sunday July 6, 2014 - 14.00 - 17.00 hrs.
The relationship between art and political conflict has been
significantly reshaped by the proliferation of digital media and the
internet as a means of instant dissemination of images, texts, and
audiovisual expressions. Artistic /activist actions intervene via these
digital means into an expanded symbolical space that is no longer the
sole sanctuary of artists and art audiences, but instead has become the
'neural fibre' of everyday life.

The National Security Agency has
been recording and storing nearly all the domestic (and international)
phone calls from two or more target countries as of 2013. Both the
Washington Post and The Intercept (based in the US and published by eBay
chairman Pierre Omidyar) have censored the name of one of the victim
states, which the latter publication refers to as country "X".
Exhibition, Bratislava, May 23 - June 22, 2014:
We are living in a prolonged period of economic, social, political and
environmental crisis, in which the yearning for global, redeeming
visions of the future has become increasingly frustrating, if not
obsolete. However, it is not possible to live without expectations,
without being able to imagine better conditions, a more positive state
of affairs. And what if ? as many thinkers, cultural producers and
various practitioners propose ? instead of heading towards fixed images
of the future, we understand utopia, as a continuous process of becoming
in which we participate? That is, instead of viewing the future as an
end, a goal we should attain in an ever-delayed 'some day', we actualize
it in the present, perform it in the everyday?
April 28, 2014:
