nettime: CDA/Barlow

[abroeck@v2.nl (Andreas Broeckmann)]

I wanted to write this note earlier, now it is more 'for the records':

What a strange coincidence that the CDA got rejected by the Philadelphia
judges (12.06.96) only a few days after Barlow's 'Declaration' came under
heavy attack during the 5th Cyberconf in Madrid where, after a series of
comments from different European and American (incl. Mexican) critics who
questioned the language as well as the cultural and ideological
presumptions of the Declaration, even Barlow himself indicated that it
might be untenable in its present form. Both statements, the CDA and the
Declaration, seem to have neglected very important aspects of the reality
of global network communication, its nature, its diversity, and its
limitations.
