Destructive Destruction? An Ecological Study of High Frequency Trading

How is High Frequency Trading’s drive to efficiency affecting market dynamics as a whole? In their analysis of the financial arms race, Inigo Wilkins and Bogdan Dragos find that far from beating entropy, algorithmic trading simply redistributes it more unequally than ever

 

The Black community bookshop. cafe and centre, Centreprise, in Dalston,
East London was
evicted last week. They had been paying a peppercorn rent of £500 odd a
year since 1984, and Hackney Council had demanded this be upped to a
market rent of around £37,000. Centreprise claimed that they had bought
the building in 1983, which is disputed by the Council; they offered to
pay £12,000 a year, but Hackney rejected this, took them to court and won
possession... Centreprise were preparing an appeal, but were evicted

Drop the Act! A GP’s View of NHS Privatisation

How has the ConDem’s de facto privatisation of the NHS in March 2012 played out in the doctors’ surgeries, hospital pathology labs and boardroom shenanigans of the UK?

Pil and Galia Co-Operative Explanatory Capabilities 2010

An exhibition at Gasworks singled out the thematic of ‘management’ as a lens through which to examine multiple artistic approaches to labour, organisation, communication and measurement. Marina Vishmidt gives the show an evaluative performance review

 

The Dark Arts

Gregory Sholette’s book, Dark Matter, provides a useful collectivising term for those artists who produce the art world from below. But, wonders Stefan Szczelkun, how can we talk about cultural exclusion without thinking seriously about class?

 

When the excluded are made visible, when they demand visibility, it is always ultimately a matter of politics and a rethinking of history. This is often the case with artists collectives.

La Jetée’s Spiral

The image's mediation of the past is far from nostalgically comforting, writes Benedict Seymour in his review of Les Marques Aveugles at the Centre d'Art Contemporain in Geneva. If the visual returns of the show prove that modernist film tropes still have life in them, they nevertheless also evoke the painful loops of post-Fordist restructuring and its futureless futures

 

Unleashing the Collective Phantom (Resistance to Networked Individualism)

Jordan Crandall, Drive, 2000. Installation view, Neue Gallerie am Landesmuseum J

Today’s ‘self-managed’ or sociological type has been shaped overwhelmingly by the impact of ‘60s counter-culture. Jettisoning the disciplinary schemas of modernity, capitalist production models – of goods and subjects – have taken on board the anti-authoritarian demands of the flower power generation. But, argues Brian Holmes, our newfound flexibility, mobility and interactivity is both repressive and liberatory by turns.
