    "The enjoyment of art is the only remaining ectasy that is neither
    immoral nor illegal--except in New York."
    --NYC tour bus guide

    Lt. Crack here with the news:

    [1]

    Consortium in the making:

    e-Flux and The Thing are pleased to announce the creation of the
    world's most comprehensive database of art professionals on-line.
    Our  companies will share information and services to facilitate a
    more direct communication within the international art community.

    For further information please go to: http://www.aha.ru/~mgo/

    Etoys.com on the offensive:

    Number 16 of the largest US online commerce corporations, etoys.com,
    is suing etoy.com (without the "s"), the "digital hijack" artists from
    Switzerland.  Etoys (with the "s") asserts that US kids could get
    confused and exposed to those bad guys from the Alps.  Family values are at
    stake.  But since etoy didn't want to relinguish the right to their own domain
    to the Big Daddy Etoys Corporation they will now have to make their stand in
    court.  THE THING vigourously supports etoy in this fight!  A stealth alliance
    of various individuals, media and art groups now plans to mount an
    effective media counter offensive to discredit those suckers who think they
    can just buy or destroy everything that's in their way!

    Depechez vous - sign this appeal!
    --Isabelle Adjani, Actress

    A little more each day the market is taking control over our life.
    It organizes work, determines salaries, relocates factories,
    decides what we drink, what we breathe, what we eat.  It whittles down
    social progress, eliminates differences, destroys public services,
    wipes out democracy and the peoplesī right to self-determination.
    A little more each day globalisation is accelerating, without a
    single democratically designated institution having chosen this
    to be.  The World Trade Organisationīs next round of negotiations
    runs the danger of provoking a further breathtaking acceleration
    of this process.  If its schedule is maintained, soon almost nothing
    will remain of all that has been achieved through centuries of social
    and political struggles.

    Hey, you all look like you can use some new parts - try on some of
    these for size!

    Eugene Thacker, ftp_formless_anatomy.

    ftp_formless_anatomy is a counter-anatomical response to the National
    Library of Medicine's Visible Human Project, an online archive of a
    cut-up and encoded male and female human body. Using the model of a
    Web-database, it utilizes anatomical cross-sections, 3-D modeling, and
    samples from online surgeries to construct and re-animate the
    digital-anatomical body.
