ReadThe reader of The Seropositive Ball has been added to the Tactical Media Files as a freely downloadable pdf. The Seropostive Ball was a 69-hour 'networked event' staged at Amsterdam's Paradiso June 21-24, 1990, and a shadow conference to the World AIDS Conference in San Francisco. The event was an important precursor for the first Next 5 Minutes festival on Tactical Television (1993). This exceptional document deserves special attention, hence this non-standard announcement.

ReadThe Seropositive Ball was a networked event that lasted 69 hours
non-stop. It was a shadow conference to the World AIDS Conference, which
was held the same days in San Francisco. Because people with HIV and
AIDS were not welcome in the USA, both the Paradiso gathering as well as
the especially designed 0+net offered a way to show commitment, share
feelings and insights, exchange knowledge and art and express political
views for many people involved.
