Warez, (otherwise know as unlicensed software) have been used from the begining of the micro computer revolution as a means of creating dynamic and diverse communities and as a way of unofficial arts distribution. Much early computer art was created and distributed by the burgening computer underground before the mainstream art movement had even conceived of the digital artisan. This projects seeks to recreate the halcyon days of computer art by creating and facilitating a modern day warez server and letting the now extensive online public enjoy what was only available to the obsessed but massively creative computer fanatics of the eighties and early nineties. We hope you'll participate in this online arts event by uploading and downloading software, creating our own virtual warez based community and also we hope, sparking some of the creative genius that started with the unsung hackers and slackers of the microcomputer revolution. pc8.newmediacentre.com login: ftp password: joshua # distributed via : no commercial use without permission # is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net ________________________________________________________________________________ no copyright 1999 rolux.org - no commercial use without permission. is a moderated mailing list for the advancement of minor criticism. more information: mail to: majordomo@rolux.org, subject line: , message body: info. further questions: mail to: rolux-owner@rolux.org. archive: http://www.rolux.org
