This project is in part an exhibition on Vidéogazette and in part a look at paralell contemporary practices that employ technology and seek experimental, non-hierarchical approaches to creative and cultural production. The Philly Public School has been invited to launch a series of class proposals with accompanied posters (with the inclusion of other Public Schools) which will eventually culminate into a class or series of classes. A group will gather virtually on IRC during Tuesday evenings this month to generate material The Whole World is Watching. Deadline for this would be the first week in May. See scheduled dates and comments for detail on how to get involved.
First edition of a yearly event dedicated to students publications, this year will be an experimental, reflexive and prospective one - engaging students, teachers and “professionals” in public discussions and round tables dedicated to making and thinking editorial practices today. It will also be the occasion to think about events and structures around publications (book fairs, book awards, book exhibitions, etc) and to elaborate a proposal for the following editions of the event.
Students publications will be exhibited, and discussions and round tables organized.

Musicians and all kinds of other artists have means and need to practice their work through daily exercises. But what does the actor have outside of rehearsals for a particular project? "Viewpoints" is the name of an improvisation technique/language for performers which was pioneered by the choreographer Mary Overlie and later extensively developed by the theatre director, Anne Bogart and her company, SITI. I would like to take a class that both uses and critically questions the literature and experiences of Viewpoints to explore it as a kind of "daily practice" -- at the level of a weekly class. I would like to explore/question it's basic assumptions and procedures, through testing it's simple exercises -- many of them movement based, but not limited to the actor's physical work -- gradually, diligently, patiently becoming more and more advanced, without, initially at least, any pressure of a goal to result in performance for an audience.
I wouldn't like to dedicate too much time to discussing technical problems with monetary system majority of people cultivates nowadays, rather focus on various alternatives we have alerady available or under development. For 'big picture' overview of monetary system you can watch those documentaries, they somehow repeat same thing but in a different way:
NOTE: I definitely don't want to drift into talking about any conspiracy theories if someone gets impression any of those videos suggesting them, rather would encourage everyone to focus on issues with: fractional reserves, principal/interest, money 'creation' mechanisms etc.

Didn't you ever notice how close the Big Bang and the Gang Bang are? It all started with a bang adorned by the commotion of the birds: it was the outbreak of the anus that had been castrated by the heterosexual regime in exchange for the stabbing privilege of masculinity. From then on everything changed here, between the trees of the woods in Forest, the woods of the Gang Bang Forest.
