The subject for the coming week is Agitprop, which is the design and delivery of subversive messages. Internet is an ideal medium for Agitprop, as it allows us to bypass establishment media to reach people, affordably, and in total independence. Moreover, the unique possibilities offered by interactive media allow one to develop new paradigms of expression...

Discordia is interested in expanding its circle of editors: Editors are people who make connections between ideas, notice interesting topics and post them or invite others to post. Editors make use of the "Nepotism" feature of Discordia to influence the direction of discussions, while the "Democracy" feature ensures openness in all directions.
If you are interested in helping to shape the content and direction of Discordia, please contact us

The Priory, an upmarket South West London clinic is best known for helping showbiz identities dry out from drugs or alcohol. But a rising number of its patients are seeking help because they can't keep their hands off their mobile telephones."

As part of the lecture series "Artvertising" at the O.K Center in Linz, yesterday evening Ecke Bonk talked about his work Book of Words. Random Reading that was shown at Documenta11. What was most amazing was the portrait he painted of Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm, who had been librarians together at Museum Fridericianum in Kassel, where the work was shown. Ecke Bonk mentioned that it was suggested to him that instead of a "random reading" of the Deutsches Wörterbuch, it should be interactive, allowing people to type in a word, for which the entry in the Grimm brothers' dictionary would then be displayed.

[- abuse your illusions

Filtered through a tendency to be a conspiracy theorist, but also a conflicting (in this case) tendency to distrust polls and statistics.
I think I'm having a filter crash.
Anyway, take the abuse your illusions quiz at disinfo.
Or is it all an illusion?

I'am aware of the fact that a lot of local Discordians are already fed up with meta-blogging breaking news and musings, so this will be the only from me (i'm not that much into blog-o-mania anyway). Just makes me wonder how much work and time is this kind of technology going to save up for the companies willing to "keep an eye on the public".

Behind Discordia lurks a darker shadow, that only by trading glances that might pierce its hidden eyes, will we be allowed to invite it into our homes in order to domesticate it. Otherwise, it lurks in the dark outside and howls into our sleep. What I'm talking about is Dementia, and the utter relief of its antidote, Clemencia,...
