The French Group

Though this will read slightly strangely, having been the basis of a presentation given to a Design Conference in Aspen in 1970, it remains a searing critique of state-sanctioned environmentalism pertinent to our times (intro by Anthony on Mavis' behalf).

(reposting from the new Gasworks Pipeline commentary & materials site - very contemporary counter-Green polemic from 1970)

The French Group, which has been invited to this conference, has decided not to bring a positive contribution.

Marina Vishmidt

The recent research project and series of exhibitions After Neurath revisits the work of Otto Neurath, renaissance man of the Vienna Circle who had attempted to relate the puzzle of social change by pictorialising knowledge.

Merijn Oudenampsen and Jakob Proyer

Since the early days of the net, the electronic pastoral has lent itself to all sorts of dubious agendas pushed by science, the military and even libertarian tendencies.

Recomposing the University -
By Tiziana Terranova & Marc Bousquet
July 2004
