| [Nettime-bold] INVENTORY: EVACUATE LONDON! |
EVACUATE LONDON! Administer a colonic irrigation to a city stuffed with miserable, gutless, label-adopting slaves. Down with the ever so jaded, abstracted/distracted, neo-pop conceit. Thinking is fashioning, not fashion. Ideas have a life-force that cannot be reduced to empty pattern or banal presentations of pretension. For this city belongs to us. It seethes with our energy and ideas. And if we cannot tear it down - then we can build over it, between and around it. Eroding its outline, fraying its contours, pulling apart everything that gives this anthill the precious meaning that is coveted by a spineless minority desperate to hang on to some semblance of a trendy lifestyle.
Amongst this environment of asphalt and aphasia Inventory rears its head once more. A unique, thoroughly independent and free-thinking publication.. This issue, our eleventh, contains essays on autonomous architecture, money, regimes of value, the gentrification of Berlin, the history of curry, and much more. It is a journal that is not constrained by subject matter or or by the sterile conventions of publishing. Simultaneously intimate and expansive, Inventory engages with its subject matter in a fiercely sociological manner, acting upon this environment in the hope of changing the condition of being here.
We neither need nor require your approval or criticism - we only ask you to think for yourselves. INVENTORY Vol.4 No.2 LAUNCH PARTY
