The telephone, satellites and the Internet: "VOPOS" exploits and merges
three kinds of net. The two members of 0100101110101101.ORG are the cell
under control. They wear a GPS transmitter that sends, through a cell
phone, its co-ordinates to a website: HTTP://WWW.0100101110101101.ORG. A
software draws on a digital geographic map the exact position in which
they reside, establishing a path that traces all the movements of the
cell under control.

The Global Positioning System (or GPS) is a collection of satellites
owned by the U.S. Government. GPS receivers on the earth's surface
listen in on the information received from three to twelve satellites
and, from that, determine the precise location of the receiver, as well
as how fast and in what direction it is moving. Some GPS receivers have
been integrated into mobile radios, cellular phones and mobile data
terminals. In the next future they will probably be installed on each
vehicle and miniaturized to the point of being wearable.

"VOPOS" represents the second stage of a wider project, "GLASNOST",
started on 2000, that consists on monitoring and making public, in real
time, the biggest quantity of data concerning an individual in the
actual society. With the first stage, "life_sharing",
0100101110101101.ORG started giving every Internet user free 24-7 access
to their computer: programs, system, desktop, archives, tools, ongoing
projects and even private mail are all public. "life_sharing" radically
challenges the concept of intellectual property and explores the
contradictions of privacy in the era of information technology.

0100101110101101.ORG is trying to give an account of how vast amounts of
personal information are moving into corporate hands, where they can be
developed into electronic profiles of individuals and groups that are
potentially far more detailed and intrusive than the files built up in
the past by state police and security agencies. 0100101110101101.ORG
reveals how ordinary citizens are losing control of the information
about them that is available to anyone who can pay for it.

Negativland: Since 1980 Negativland have been creating records, video,
radio, web sites and live performance using appropriated sound, image
and text. Taken mostly from corporately owned mass culture, Negativland
re-arranges these bits and pieces to make them say things they never
intended to. In doing this kind of cultural opposition and "culture
jamming" (a term coined by Negativland in 1984), Negativland have been
sued twice for copyright infringement and have, since 1991, been
aggressively and publicly involved in advocating a significant reform of
this nations copyright laws.




# Anything has been said about this renegade cyber-entity,
# accused of being "simple thief", dubbed as "media dandy"
# and "cultural terrorists" or, simply, "shit".
# 0100101110101101.ORG is the author of some of the most 
# perfect media exploits of the last years, such as the 
# creation and diffusion, at the opening of the 49th 
# Venice Biennial, of the computer virus "biennale.py" or 
# the memorable theft of the art gallery Hell.com.
