Re: 11 + 9 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 1 = 23 the question of true or false, him or her, CNN or indy-media, bird or cat... can under no circumstances be of value in the aftermath of this world wide media shock and masspsychosis. some media hackers [currently described as terrorists] have intelligently attacked central symbols of the american governement and society with low-tech instruments such as knives, brains, money and flight-education. the media impact, and therefore the global shock, can be understood and interpreted as highly pervert and intelligent act of communication. like traditional artists, "they" have scanned the networks and infrastructures in order to find weakpoints. then they acted accordingly and underwent all forms of repression, observation and financial, logistic and psychologial problems. they hit right on target with precision. now the impact of this subversive act is on the one hand extremly tragic [the human pain and fear is hard to imagine], on the other hand it is a shock wave which will overthrow and break, which will generate immense dynamics in various global and national communities and therefore generates its own reality. the political and military implications can some- how be imagined, the psychological implications are harder to imagine, the artistic implications are felt instantly. although, i have to admit that this action is clearly inbetween traditional forms of hacking [considered illegal under various national laws] and new forms of media hacking [considered legal form of action]. the media action consists of a majority of legal components, the physical action, if it took place the way we imagine and see through televised and networked communication], consists of illegal components: "the legal aspect of media hacking is important to note, as it seperates media hacking from tradtional forms of hacking. media hackers expoit weak spots within social, commercial, political, and technical networks and implement disinformation via these subverted interfaces. media hacking asks for chuzpeh in producers. media hackers cannot be afraid of playing with information and information distribution, but rather have to be able to witfully play with these mechanisms. bad strategies can result in personally catastrophic scenarios, and successful gaming present the winners with the grand prize in the worldwide market for media attention." lizvlx from ubermorgen, c17 [computer chaos club conference, 12/2000, berlin] so, who will take the grand prize of this [media] hack? who will put his brand/logo on top of it? who will be able to negate responsibility due to artistic argumentation of non-liability and freedom of artistic expression? who understands the U.S. constitution and its weakpoints well enough to produce a legal basis for the media hack-components of this action in the future? live and uncensored.. from bronx.sil.at, the nyc-mother of vhost www.naziline.com.. live-capture filtered trough hans_extrem and nikon.. in the tradition of till eulenspiegel, adolf hitler and etoy...
