Despite all lack of fortune, she emerged from a fertile background of techno organized disorder. She grew up in a community network of outlaws in the cradle of necrotic European culture, living on the razor's edge of society and brain stability. Screenal reality is a realm, a layer of reality, that pretends to be the only possible world, materialized trough the seductive words of plastic babies. Candida claims that this is the right moment to start squatting screenal reality. She moves with her network, like a swarm. The swarm say: Our strategy is to infiltrate pop culture as a necrotic tissue from the inside. In the beginning of the eighties, The Sanz Patiente Kollective, one of the first groups representative of industrial culture in Europe claimed their POSTINDUSTRIAL STRATEGY or THE CATHEDRAL OF DEATH: The Strategy is not dialectic: liberation against control unconscious against conscious deviant against normal sex against chastity The Strategy is catastrophic: carry the situation to its own limits The strategy is symbolic: use against the system its own intolerable signs The strategy is anonymous: we don't want to be categorized as another deviant star WE ARE THE NORM WE ARE THE TWILIGHT "Surveillance cameras are all around us, Surveillance cameras are all around us, Surveillance cameras are all around us," Magazzini Criminali (the Criminal Stores, a theatre company from Bologna) hysterically sang the in the eighties in their theatrical piece "Crollo Nervoso" (Neurotic Breakdown). Surveillance cameras are all around us, but instead of howling hysterically, we decide to hold the cameras in our hand Candida says: Television is a weapon. Screenal reality must be squatted. One year ago in Rome, we began the experiment of "Candida--the first electric household TV." We had the weapon in our hand, BEWARE! almost all our games are played with live ammunition … you may shoot ammunition into the emptiness. If there exists a big brother, Candida is The Little Sister, the first electric household TV. Let me explain the meaning of this slogan: Candida in Italian means Candid as in Voltaire's Candide, for whom this is the best of all possible worlds. Isn't this what tv-pop-culture is trying to tell us while our bodies are daily dispossessed? Candida is Candid as in immediate; she has an immediate relationship with the media. It happens in the moment of the experience; a transformation from the television for everybody to the television created by everybody. Candida is the first electric household TV because her aim is to overcome the differences between the consumer and the producer: television can be done by everyone, you just have to use the television as a monitor, the camera as an eye, the video recorder as an editing tool. "MAKE YOUR OWN TELEVISION"--to doubt prefabricated authorities and to promote the decentralization of information. Screenal reality has to be squatted, Candida wants to be broadcast on the official television channels because the television channels are still the mainstream of the collective subconscious. Candida has got net streaming, but she is not satisfied with this because the actual standards for net streaming are proprietary, as is the Real Network. What we need is free software for light net streaming. We are invading the pulpit from which everyone is preaching to pour waves of vitriol in everyone's houses, we know that nothing is true and that everything is possible-the swarm are bastard nieces of uncle Dostoyevski and uncle Bill Burroughs. In the merry-go-round of media, as Guy Debord once said, what pretends to be true is false and what is false can only appear as true. Let's play the game. Book industry, telematics, radio, television: Candida is a nomadic swarm that advance as grasshoppers of sense. no name will be changed to protect the innocent. everyone is fucking guilty. http://subsol.c3.hu -- sig/ * - / \ | ^ ^^^^ http://www.weareeverywhere.org http://www.uhc-collective.org.uk/toolbox.htm http://www.eco-action.org/dod http://www.noborder.org http://www.makeworlds.org http://www.ainfos.ca http://slash.autonomedia.org http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Lobby/3909/index/links.html http://www.reclaimthestreets.net
