Brett Stalbaum is an artist and research theorist specializing in information
theory, database, and software development. A serial collaborator, he
was a co-founder of the Electronic Disturbance Theater in 1998, for
which he co-developed software called FloodNet (http://www.thing.net/~rdom/ecd/ecd.html),
which has been used on behalf of the Zapatista movement against the
websites of the Presidents of Mexico and the United States, as well as
the Pentagon. As Forbes Magazine put it "Perhaps the first electronic
attack against a target on American soil was the result of an art
project." For EDT, this was all learned behavior taught by the example
of the Zapatistas. Stalbaum has been part of many other individual and
collaborative projects, and has published widely on digital art, its
context and aesthetics, and location aware media. He is a past editor

Subject: [iDC] Participationism (was "why do we need physical campuses")
Hi all,
(...) Below is (one of) the curatorial statement(s) of a show that Not An
Alternative has curated with Upgrade NY! and Eyebeam, called Re:Group:
Beyond Models of Consensus, about the subjects of collaboration and
participation. After constant debate, the curatorial committee never
came to consensus about the thesis for the show, and so we've presented
two distinct positions.
Below is that of our group, Not An Alternative. The opening is
tomorrow, with a curators talk at 5pm, so if you're in NY and you're
ready for a rumble join us there.
Best, Beka
