The Journal of Aesthetics & Protest is looking for
researchers for a movement journalism project among Occupy Wall Wtreet.

Interested in observations and reflections, militant research.
We have a rubric.


To be published online by joaap.

events are happening- the window for the project may close.

if interested, contact us at editors@joaap.org if your interested.

Just as a reminder - this is a 2-day workshop with most of the history and technical stuff covered on day 1 and most of the recording action on day 2. You should plan on coming on both days to attend this workshop.

The other alternative is to just focus on Robot Operating System (ROS) and teach only that language since it is the dominant language and is now tied to Android with ROSjava.

Para-Academia & Theory Fiction | Session 4: Complicitous Continuums: The Horrors of the Cosmicist Earth, facilitated by Ben Woodard  

Saturday, September 17 at 1:00pm at Observatory [You must enter through the blue front doors on Union Street. Push buzzer #1E.] 

This course will explore the Geo-philosophical earth as theory-fictional node for explaining a cosmicism/universalism in which the outside is continuously advancing upon all purportedly firm grounds and solid bodies. Weirdness, as in the weird of weird fiction and the darkness of dark romanticism and the crumble of the gothic, will be explored as the intrusion of the non-local upon the local, arguing that all stability is in fact subject to continuous degradation, shift, and collapse. 

This is good for a chuckle:

"these riots and their rapid escalation are not spontaneous but reflect the co-ordinated efforts of self-styled revolutionary groups determined to incite and escalate outbreaks into urban insurrections. Central to this strategy is the rapid mobilisation of agents provocateurs such as the Black Bloc cadre"

One day we've got to be as cool as the paranoid right wing says we are!
