Do you agree that the visionary and the epic should be re-introduced into a design context obsessed by individual lifestyle? Do you have a passion for fiction and a weak spot for spy stories? Do you believe that design research - the development of hypothetical notions and visionary statements - should be a bigger part of your work, too? Would you like to be part of the design team for a national identity? Then be introduced to Meta Haven, a one-year research project initiated by designer Daniel van der Velden at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht, the Netherlands. The objective of this project is to develop a national identity for Sealand, a mini-state off the British coast. The project, resulting in a printed and internationally distributed publication, will concern itself with stamps, money, passports and flags as much as with the network society, the fictionalisation of history, and the 'data haven'. For a precise outline of the project, please visit our project on the web: http://www.janvaneyck.nl/sealand If you are working in the field of design, or if you are a design or arts student, and you want to learn and discuss on a more in-depth level what design will become - and visually create that - you might want to apply to participate in the Sealand identity project. If accepted, you will profit from the intellectual climate and generosity of the Jan van Eyck Academie, an internationally renowned centre for arts, design and theory, located in the south of the Netherlands near Belgium and Germany, in the city that gave birth to the European Union. For more information on the conditions of application and acceptance, please visit http://www.janvaneyck.nl/sealand Applications are due before September 15, 2003. Proposals should include a resume and relevant visual material. Please send applications to: Jan van Eyck Academie, Academieplein 1, 6211 KM Maastricht, Nederland att.

This is for a statement opposing what appears to be US plans to harass/attack/invade Cuba in the guise of anti-terrorism. Please send this out to as many of our friends and networks as possible. Thank you. Teddy Casińo Secretary General Bagong Alyansang Makabayan - --------------------------------------------- Dear Friends: The international solidarity with Cuba is evident throughout the world with the worldwide response to the document: "Call to the Conscience of the World" . A growing number of Intellectuals and professionals, writers, artists and public personalities, from the US, Latin American and the Caribbean, Africa and Asia, who are warning of the danger hanging over Cuba at a time when Washington is designing an international fascist tyranny , have made this message theirs demanding respect for the Cuban people and their self-determination to build a society in which justice and the most elemental human values prevail. CALL TO CONSCIENCE OF THE WORLD The international order has been violated as a consequence of the invasion against Iraq. A single power is inflicting grave damage to the norms of understanding, debate and mediation amongst countries. This power has invoked a series of unverified reasons in order to justify its invasion. Unilateral action has led to massive loss of civilian life an devastation of one of the cultural patrimonies of humanity. We only possess our moral authority, with which we appeal to world conscience in order to avoid a new violation of the principles, which inform and guide the global community of nations. At this very moment, a strong campaign of destabilization against a Latin American nation has been unleashed. The harassment against Cuba could serve as a pretext for an invasion. Therefore, we call upon citizens and policy makers to uphold the universal principles of national sovereignity, respect of territorial integrity and self-determination, essential to just and peaceful co-existence among nations. Mexico, April 30 The number of signatures to this document now totals 2,277. To facilitate adherence to the document you can visit the web site www.porcuba.cult.cu ( Spanish and English) or sent an e-mail to porcuba@cubarte.cult.cu.

In June 2003, the 2-year detention order without trial of six political prisoners under the draconian Internal Security Act (ISA) of Malaysia will expire. These six political prisoners are: No Name Background Date of Arrest Date of 2-year detention order served Date of detention order expires 1 Tian Chua Vice president of National Justice Party, labor and human rights activist 10 April 2001 2 June 2001 2 June 2003 2 Hishamuddin Rais A film director and a reform movement activist 10 April 2001 2 June 2001 2 June 2003 3 Mohd Ezam Mohd Noor Youth Chief of National Justice Party 10 April 2001 2 June 2001 2 June 2003 4 Saari Sungib Reform movement activist 10 April 2001 2 June 2001 2 June 2003 5 Dr Badrulamin Bahrom Central Committee member of National Justice Party 20 April 2003 13 June 2001 13 June 2003 6 Lokman Adam Youth leader of National Justice Party 24 April 2001 13 June 2001 13 June 2003 They have been detained in April 2001 prior to a mass demonstration against the Dr. Mahathir’s authoritarian government to mark the first anniversary of the injustice imprisonment of former deputy prime minister, Anwar Ibrahim, whom was convicted on 14 April 2000. Although Dr. Mahathir’s government has failed to produce even a single shred of evidence to prove that the six political prisoners had attempted to overthrow the government through militant means as alleged after two years, the political prisoners continued to languish in the infamous Kamunting Detention Camp, deprived of their right to defend themselves in an open court against the government allegations. Amnesty International has declared these six political prisoners as prisoners of conscience. More importantly, on 6 September 2002 the Federal Court of Malaysia had ruled that the detention of these men were mala fide (in bad faith). This view was also adopted by the ISA Advisory Board, who recommended that the six men be released. In a landmark report on the review of the ISA, which was released on 9 April 2003, the National Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) has recommended to the Malaysian government to abolish the ISA and replace it with security laws that comply to human rights. Actions needed Under the ISA, the Home Minister will have to decide whether to release or sign a new 2-year detention order to extend the detention order of a detainee once the existing detention order expires. We urge you to support the GMI campaign “No to Renewal of ISA Detention! 2 Years is 2 Much!!” to stop the unjust detention of these political detainees. There are many ways you can support this campaign and help the political prisoners to secure their freedoms. We appeal to your organisation to extend your support against the unjust detention of these six political prisoners by organising one or more of the following actions in the period of April – June 2003: 1. Send letters via email, fax to the Home Minister before 2 June 2003 calling for the immediate and unconditional release of the political prisoners, repeal the ISA and not to extend the detention order of the political prisoners to another two years.

Please send the resolution to the media and a copy to us. Please find a copy of sample resolution attached. 4. Issue press statement calling for the repeal of the Internal Security Act and the release of the political prisoners before 2 June 2003. 5. Ask your government to voice the concerns over the continuous detention of the 6 political detainees with the Malaysian government and diplomats before 2 June 2003 and urge the release of the prisoners. 6. Ask your Member of Parliament to join MPs worldwide in signing petition letter before 2 June 2003 calling for the release of the political prisoners detained under the ISA. Please find attached a copy of the MP petition letter. 7. Protest in front of the Malaysian embassy or consulate or Malaysian Airline office in you country and city within April – June 2003 to urge the Malaysian government to release the political prisoners detained under the ISA. 8. Protest in front of the Malaysian embassy or consulate or Malaysian Airline office on 2 June 2003 if the detention period of the political prisoners is extended to another two years without charge, when their first detention order expires on 2 June 2003. For more information of the campaign, please visit www.suaram.org/isa Released by: Suara Rakyat Malaysia (SUARAM) 383, 1st Floor, Jalan 5/59, Petaling Garden, 46000 Petaling Jaya, Malaysia Tel: + 60 3 77843525 Fax: +60 3 77843526 Email: suaram@suaram.org Web: www.suaram.org/isa Abolish ISA Movement Press Statement 27/05/03 1. The detention order under Section 8 (ISA) of six (6) Reformasi detainees will end in June 2003. The detention order of Mohd Ezam Mohd Noor, Tian Chua, Hishamuddin Rais and Saari Sungib will expire on 1 June 2003 and the detention order of Lokman Adam and Dr. Badrulamin Bahron will end on 12 June 2003. 2. The ISA empowers the Home Affairs Minister to issue further 2-year detention orders. 3. GMI appeals to the YAB Dato’ Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, the Home Minister not to issue any new detention orders. It would be an unspeakable injustice to issue a new order because: i. The Federal Court on the 6th September 2002 had judged that their detention was unlawful and mala fide; ii. SUHAKAM, the National Human Rights Commission of Malaysia, had repeatedly called for their release; iii. the Advisory Board setup under the ISA has recommended twice to the Home Minister in December 2002 and May 2003 respectively to stop the detention orders. 4. GMI is of the opinion that there is no more ground for any continued detention of these six detainees. If the government persist to continue their detention, GMI demands that the government produce their evidence in court. Given these circumstances, any extension or renewal of detention of these six political detainees would completely go against the grain of rule of law and make a mockery of the democracy of this country. It would send a strong signal to the general public and the international community that the rule of law simply does not exist in this country with the government sweeping aside judgements of court and recommendations of its own statute. 5. GMI reiterates that the ISA deprives completely the right of the detainee to an open and fair trial, the right to legal counsel and the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. We call for the immediate and unconditional release of these six political detainees and would oppose any renewal of their detention order. 6. The families of the detainees will visit the Kamunting Detention Camp on 1 June 2003 to demand for the immediate release of their loved ones. The families convoy will start at 8.00 am at Rawang R&R and arrive at the Kamunting Detention Camp at 12.00 afternoon. 7. Gerakan Mansuhkan ISA (GMI) calls on supporters of anti-ISA campaign to accompany the families to the Kamunting Detention Camp on 1 June 2003 as a show of solidarity to the detainees and the families. Supporters can join the families convoy at 8.00 am at the R&R Rawang or 12.00 noon at Kamunting Detention Camp. 8. GMI welcomes the timely calls of 41 foreign members of Parliament from Japan, United Kingdom and The Netherlands in urging our government to release the six political detainees immediately and not to renew their detention orders when they expire. 9. Lastly, GMI calls on the government to accept the recommendation of Suhakam to repeal the ISA and ends the notorious history of the ISA once and for all.

BumpList is an emailing list aiming to re-examine the culture and rules of online email lists. BumpList only allows for a minimum amount of subscribers so that when a new person subscribes, the first person to subscribe is "bumped", or unsubscribed from the list. Once subscribed, you can only be unsubscribed if someone else subscribes and "bumps" you off. BumpList actively encourages people to participate in the list process by requiring them to subscribe repeatedly if they are bumped off. The focus of the project is to determine if by attaching simple rules to communication mediums, the method and manner of correspondences that occur as well as behaviors of connection will change over time.
