The reality of this scam resists representation, which is why we are unsuccessful in our attempts to align words and images with the original meaning of things.

A video based on an advertisement for GuardianSpain, the Spanish branch of Israeli company Guardian Homeland Security, which specializes in training security professionals to act – not against an external enemy but against the threat of citizens in their own countries. Israel thus shares its extensive proven experience in citizen control, particularly in urban contexts. Its Spanish clients include: Mossos d’Esquadra, Guardia Civil, Ertzaintza, the Interior Ministry, etc. The courses cost between 3.500 and 4.000€, and are paid for by our taxes.

Based on a text by William Burroughs in Nova Express: “It was first suggested that we take our own image and examine how it could be made more portable. We found that simple binary coding systems were enough to contain the entire image however they required a large amount of storage space until it was found that the binary information could be written at the molecular level, and our entire image could be contained within a grain of sand. However, it was found that these information molecules were not dead matter but exhibited a capacity for life which is found elsewhere in the form of virus.” If you are interested in screening this work, please contact to: OVNI Archives: llop [a] desorg.org Hamacaonline: info [a] hamacaonline.net

“Do you maintain that the bourgeoisie is triumphing?.” “Yes, it is. And the neo-capitalist, consumer society is the true bourgeois revolution.” “I have banished the word ‘hope’ from my vocabulary; I continue to fight for concrete truths at each moment.”

“Fascism was just a bunch of criminals in power, but it managed to deeply transform Italy. Nowadays the opposite is true, and the power of today’s democratic regime is managing to achieve the acculturation and standardization that fascism was unable to complete. The power of the consumer society that destroys other particular realities and impoverishes the diversity of human beings.”

Life in an Immigration Detention Centre is not life at all, it is waiting. Waiting and fear. Fear of deportation, fear of losing your direction while your life is limited to the four walls of the cell, fear of a future that could surely not be worse. The testimonies of former inmates of the Immigrant Detention Centre (CIE) at Zona Franca, Barcelona, offer us a glimpse of the reality of these illegal, covert prisons.

A kind of counter-advertisement to support the activists accused for the blockade of the Parliament on 15 June 2011. Edited with found footage that mixes an electoral campaign ad for Artur Mas and an ad for Audi, the car that he uses. This armoured Audi A 8 was the cause of one of the most serious accusations faced by some of the defendants. According to the prosecution, they brushed against it and hit it with their fists… and for this they are requesting an 8 year jail term. The Audi is a contemporary revival of what Ernst Kantorowicz said about the king’s two bodies in feudal societies. According to old political theology, the king had two bodies, an earthly one and a heavenly one, and as such attacking the first meant attacking God himself. You could say that Artur Mas also has two bodies, one is his own and the other (the heavenly one) is his Audi. So hitting the almost one and a half tonne armour plate of this massive vehicle is the equivalent of hitting Artur’s nose: almost an attack of lèse-majesté.
