It showed the nature of a big part of the corporate University systen through the naked violence that was employed that very day on campus. It showed how far a University system can go to preserve it's corporate status quo. It sho…

During all the years of my work in advertising I always had very ambivalent feelings about it. Part of me loved it for endless possibilities of creative opportunities while bigger part of me hated it for having to act against my political and personal values.

I have come across this video yesterday and looked at it several times. I was astonished by the directness of this trader who told the whole world through the BBC that he dreams every night about a global economic crisis, because this situation will allow him to make big profits.
I had a conversation about it with Vida and she said that the trader did this on purpose, launching this controver…

Apparently, a new form of activism will take place very soon. As it was announced on Twitter and YourAnonNews on Tumblr, a new song is on the way to “get the message out” and ” take youtube and iTunes by storm and flood the song into the world around us, with proceeds going to charities that are actively striving to change it.”
Especially interesting is the last part of a twitter message: “Thi…

Few days ago, there were announcements all over the media and RT’s on Twitter about #OpFacebook, and a video announcement that Facebook will be destroyed by Anonymous on November 5th because of its privacy regulations.

Unfortunately the news is not that fresh, but is still very relevant!
As some of you might know, we were working on the publication covering Friendly competition 2010-11. We got it from the printer just a day before our travel to Nijmegen where we organized Memefest Workshop. We know it was almost two months ago, but - with a kind of summer vibe and a lot of other things to solve– we are finall…
