Interzone report of January 2007

 

French version

Previous report of December 2006

Next report of february-march 2007

For the new comers: The reports of Interzone contain the monthly activities of the members of the group in different domains. As we are about 400 people in the world, all different, the whole might appear at first sight as an incongruous medley. For more information on the subjects developed here, please refer to the previous reports since 1997 in the page Information on Interzone

 

"Ship of Fools" by Paul O'Donovan

Hi all,

So we are in 2007. This thick report will contains a number of illustrations, due to the sendings I have received.

Destroy all rational thoughts : Celebrating william burroughs and brion gysin in ireland:

The DVD made by the Master Musicians of Joujouka, Frank Rynne and Joe Ambrose is awesome (to my taste) . You can get it for £12.99 from Screed Edge http://screenedge.com/shop/search.asp?search=Title_Artist&search=Keywords&var=burroughs#

See Joe Ambrose's article on it at http://www.joeambrose.net/whatsup?wuID=16

Celebrating William Burroughs and Brion Gysin in Ireland

Featuring: William Burroughs, Brion Gysin, Antony Balch, Moroccan Trance, Dreamachines, Master Musicians of Joujouka, Joe Ambrose, Hamri, Bill Laswell, Baby Snakes, Shabba Ranks, Brian Downey, Hakim Bey,

Destroy All Rational Thought features:

- one of the last interviews William Burroughs gave
- previously unseen vintage footage of Burroughs in his prime during the Fifties and early Sixties.
- The Master Musicians of Joujouka collaborating with avant garde Dublin musicians, veterans of the Tangier Beat Scene, and cutting edge writers.
- music from Bill Laswell, The Baby Snakes, plus contributions from Ira Cohen, Hakim Bey, Joe Ambrose, Antony Balch, Phauss, Felicity Mason, Daniel Figgis, Frank Rynne, Terry Wilson, Brian Downey (Thin Lizzy), Ramuntcho Matta, and Agnes Bernelle.

Additional features:

Described by avant dance magazine The Wire as infamous, Destroy All Rational Thought is directed by Joe Ambrose and Frank Rynne who organized the Here to Go Show in Dublin. The movie documents that festival.

 This DVD is a document on the people who have been part of the Burroughs-Gysin-Joujouka adventures since years. Very beautiful post-cards as well.

Also by Joe Ambrose, see in Outside Left magazine "The Black Michael Jackson" http://www.outsideleft.com/main.php?updateID=746

Dylan: On the road again:

I have some news to transmit to the Zone from Dylan, who has left United Kingdom some months ago with his wife and kids to look for a place to settle in France : presently many English people are leaving UK for France, as they cannot get a house in their country due to the high price of real estate, and to the increase of unemployment for English people since immigrants from Eastern Europe work for prices 4 times inferior.

At the moment, Dylan and his family are in a commune in the Gers, run by Germans since 12 years. He finds the experience interesting and will write a feed back about it for the Zone.

Economy:

Whistleblowing: Racket with Télé 2:

Télé 2 is a French telephone operator which I have been using since 2 years. Recently, I stated my bills were double than usually and called them for clarifications. It came out that they charge me for a service which I have never asked for nor agreed for nor signed anything about, nor received any documentof information about.

It required some days before I understood what was going on, because getting in touch with an operator was kind of difficult (long time wait with silly music), so I decided to unsubscribe, but then the steps to unsubscribed revealed themselves a real brainstorm.

After looking for info on them http://www.linternaute.com/guides/fiche/543/2/tele_2.html , http://www.infos-du-net.com/forum/11021-8-tele2-cauchemar-continue , http://www.arnaques.be/page.php?ID=1790&crioc=O&page= , http://www.zonehd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=803, http://www.toluna.com/EX_EMPLOYEE_DE_TELE2-av-882506.html?sestoluna=f9ptspch8ejmbin1t6on9il0f7 , it comes out they send bills to people on services which they have not required, and then ask for money when they want to leave. Pure racket !

Then I called France Télécom, who confirmed the common use of such technics from a number of telephone operators, and interrupted the Télé 2 services. I have recorded the whole conversations, and if Tele 2 keeps on requesting undue bills, I shall dedicate them a special web page.

 

The problem in France is that we have no possibility to make class actions. The government has promissed to allow them, but the law project about it has just been rejefcted: See Le Monde: "Le gouvernement enterre le projet de "class action" à la française" http://www.geocities.com/reportersredacteursdinterzone/classactions.html. As a result, the crooks can go on swindling without risk to be sued by organizations of clients.

Books:

Stéphan BARRON: "Toucher l'espace, poétique de l'Art Planétaire" is published by L'Harmattan, November 2006:

ISBN : 2-296-01476-3
Prix / price : 33 euros

 The first part of the book describes artworks that use planet Earth in its geographic entirety as an art medium. It describes the emergence of this art form which developed over the last century and whose importance grew with that of telecommunication technologies.
Globalisation and ecological issues are essential themes of this art form.

In the second part of the book, 25 artworks or projects are featured, recounting 23 years of the author’s own creative work. 42 colour photographs and 17 black and white pictures illustrate the text.

Earth Art takes the Earth as its raw material for emotional and introspective expression, using telecommunication technologies to highlight distance and geographical space. This art form explores the emotions and poetry of distance, and reflects on globalisation, and its human and ecological consequences; Stéphan Barron's adventure awakens and alerts us to a broader conscience of our planet.

A new book: "nonexistence"

 

"nonexistence" paperback
Kenji Siratori "nonexistence" paperback

Paperback: 172 pages
Publisher: BlazeVOX [books]
ISBN: 1934289086

"I am disillusioned at the paradise apparatus of the human body pill and with this disillusion we're plunged into Kenji Siratori's latest literary cataclysm. To call this "the new book", or compare it with other books is to do it a massive disservice and to cripple other books. This is a book in the way Burroughs' "Naked Lunch" was a book, or Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" was a piece of music. "non-existence" is a revolutionary plunge through intense linguistic mutation that rapes the surrealism of Jarry and decadence of Huysmans along the way, then fuses the corpses with the conceptual meta-fear of Ballard's "Atrocity Exhibition" and the utter gene-blurred futuro-rants of Steve Aylett. It challenges you to leave all you understand and trust at the pod-door and be collapsed then expanded by Siratori's hyper-speed vision. This isn't your father's "sci-fi". This is cut-up Gyson that takes the edict of "destroy all rational thought" over the edge into a realm of brutality and experimentation previously unknown. This is the "new" that you never knew was there, and, like all things so totally new, it forces us to rethink our idea of "novel", "life" and, in the end, even "Art". Welcome to "non-existence".
