October 31, 2010 Mark Titchner The Age of Happiness - 2009, Curated by Artemis Potamianou Review by Arelis Eleftherios Image: Mark Titchner, Voices you cannot hear, 2004 Mark Titchner [England, 11-1-1973] on his work "The white light I" [2007][steel moter, light fitting on steel plinth] introduces us a strolling skyscraper. He points out the intensive rhythm of life on the big cities of the Western Civilization and that societies are living organisms like humans. In addition to this a lamp in the middle of the skyscraper illuminates the medium stratums[or floors] and it is very weak in the higher or in the lower parts.The artist emphasizes that knowledge comes up only by moderation, following the ancient Greek gnomic: All things in moderation (παν μέτρον άριστον) which brings harmony following the Heraclites' [Ephesus, Ionia, Asia Minor - Modern Turkey, 535 BCE - 475 BCE] philosophy.

Enacting an anarchic deconstruction of the power of the text/image complex, semiotic slippages are provoked and made visible via the operations of simple control-or counter-control-algorithms. These aren't images made for passive consumption but rather antidotes against the totalizing functionality of the societal spectacle." http://collection.eliterature.org/2/works/jacobs_semantic_disturbances.html October 11, 2010 No Borders Activists Arrested and Tortured in Belgium Pluto author arrested and tortured in Belgium This is an urgent Pluto Press action mail. http://chtodelat.wordpress.com/2010/10/08/no-borders-activists-arrested-and-tortured-in-belgium/ October 6, 2010 SEEKING ME, YOU SAT EXHAUSTED CHRISTOPHE CHEMIN (FR, 2009) With BRIAN CLAFLIN and MAX VOGEL, SUSANNE SACHSSE, KAREN SUENDER, JACOB SUENDER Review by Arelis Eleftherios The work "Seeking me, you sat exhausted" has all the typical characteristics of a dedicatory headstone.

Andreas 2010 "Maar ook wil ik dansen met Lucifera en de geur van haar haar ruiken en verdrinken daarin en opgenomen worden in licht en nog meer licht totdat ik blind niets anders meer kan dan opgenomen worden in nog meer licht en haar haar, haar dijen, haar dans, en bedwelmd zijn, voor altijd bedwelmd zijn, en dood zijn" [A.A. 2010] September 28, 2010 RECLAIM the MIND Call for Submissions Friction Research Issue #4, Spring 2011 "When the possibility of expressing social reform vanishes, time has come to change our minds. [A.A. 2010]" Reclaim the Mind is a transmedial collaborative initiative exploring empty spots in the human mind by: - occupying the area between 'reality' and 'truth', - re-using forgotten (collective) memory-spaces, - connecting mental processes with physical spaces, - rewriting, tearing apart, scratching and stretching our lived environment in an effort to liberate our ursurpated sensibilities.
