Back in 2006, the situation in Oaxaca, Mexico had become extremely dangerous. The paramilitary assassinations escalated to the point that the city was being occupied by federal troops and the Mexican army who were rounding up innocent people and disappearing them. It’s urgent that the international community takes action to let the Mexican government know that their actions are not going unnoticed.

This Group gives a list of hierarchies’ mailing addresses so that you can personally send the president, governor, National Security, etc. a letter telling them that what they are doing is wrong.

Networked Music Review Commission: “ItSpace”

By Peter Traub

“ItSpace” creates a network of pages within the social networking site MySpace. Instead of people, the pages feature everyday household objects from the artist’s house. Each page has a photo of the object, a description, and most importantly, a 1-minute piece composed of samples of the object being struck, resonated, and so forth. All the pages, or objects, are ‘friends’ with each other, so that visitors who discover one object may jump to the others to see their profiles and hear their sounds. Visitors to the site are invited to create new “ItSpace” pages with pieces made from their own household objects and link those in as ‘friends’ of the original set. “ItSpace” is a 2007 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. for Networked_Music_Review. It was made possible with funding from the New York State Music Fund, established by the New York State Attorney General at Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors.
