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.

“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.”

“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.”

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

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.

An extract from a dialog between Noam Chomsky and Michel Foucault in 1971. The topic: Human Nature: Justice versus Power. Foucault claims that “Power is not an institution, it's not a structure or a force available to some: it is the name given to a strategically complex situation in a given society”. If the centrality of a power that we can submit to or resist no longer exists, than it is impossible to seize power (if in the center there is nothing to seize). If power is reticulated, resistance must take place everywhere and in every way; if power is exercised at countless points, it must be challenged point by point.
