CraNma Manifesto or Martial Arts in Post Biological Age


They speak of revolutions, informational warfare, they use practice, initialize and multiply adepts through impragnating verbally flexible but almost nonexistence practices of psycho-lethal social whirls: they say boards, think tanks, lists, festivals: what else can they say?

CraNma sees overloaded protocols, defused nondefined subjects, retinally confused contemporary tangs lost in electronically evoked transparencies of politics. CraNma witnesses mute dispersion. CraNma asks why?

Reflecting this polynomial memetic takeover Timothy Druckery said at his opening speech at the Guggenheim in Mai 98, - "I've about 40 invitations to art festivals in Europe this summer, ..."

CraNma asks: it is summer time: what do they want from us?

CraNma asks in relation to w.j.t mitchell and his "pictural turn" and the question "what do pictures really want?"

CraNma says: There is a new immune system a new membrane of physical transforms: all gentlemen on their own, everybody develops his own strategies to fight this jungle and to follow his/her personal goal.

CraNma collects tactics, combat maps, and soldier dreams out there in the test field space between networks and netholes

CraNma asks you to define the gap avoiding strange attractors of social institution (CraNma means: real strange)

Did you volunteer for CraNma especially looking forward to the Ars Electronica Festival - Infowar - in sept. 98?

CraNma interrogates transparency: transformer B is a geographically removed point of critical discursive comparison in between networks, events, and other memetic social clusters deployed elsewhere.
