      txt: Pirate Coelho
      Hi there to all! I listed ED2K links for all books of Paulo Coelho that I found on the net. ;) There is nothing wrong with that, if you can catch what I mean. I just googled his books and show you here what you can find about him. Plus, he likes what I’m doing. If you don’t believe me, just check yourself. —> Look at his free download page with my old link!
      txt: FAQ - Official Paulo Coelho site
      Is the journey more important than the destination? To have a destination is important. It’s always advisable to know where you’re heading. For instance, in the Road to Saint James, you need to know where you are. It’s through this knowledge that you can organize your trip, but it’s the journey that you really enjoy. Once in Santiago, you’re tired and you have finished your travel. It’s at this precise moment that you realize that the destination is your passion and the path your joy.

      txt: e-flux - Life is More Important Than Art
      Life is More Important Than Art is published by Ostrich, a not-for-profit arts agency concerned with challenging and revealing the prevailing attitudes, consensus and modes of cultural production, with a specific focus on contemporary visual art. The book is designed by Dean Pavitt at LOUP. Art is the most important thing in my life because it’s the only way I have of understanding life. I don’t have any other means of doing it other than through recording and then reconstructing it. Terry Smith, artist.

      txt: Lawrence Lessig - The Future of Ideas
      The cultural dinosaurs of our recent past are moving to quickly remake cyberspace so that they can better protect their interests against the future. Powerful conglomerates are swiftly using both law and technology to "tame" the Internet, transforming it from an open forum for ideas into nothing more than cable television on speed. Innovation, once again, will be directed from the top down, increasingly controlled by owners of the networks, holders of the largest patent portfolios, and, most invidiously, hoarders of copyrights. The choice Lawrence Lessig presents is not between progress and the status quo. It is between progress and a new Dark Ages, in which our capacity to create is confined by an architecture of control and a society more perfectly monitored and filtered than any before in history. Important avenues of thought and free expression will increasingly be closed off. The door to a future of ideas is being shut just as technology makes an extraordinary future possible.

      txt: Proto Social Network 'The Well' Runneth Over
      Larry Brilliant: [...]Unfortunately, today's conversations have become "BlackBerry cryptic." SMS is great for saying "I'll meet you at 4." But it isn't great for discussing the importance of the Bill of Rights. One of the greatest things you can do is to get on The Well and pick a topic — like ethics, or Lichtenstein, or the mating patterns of some arboreal creature. You'll find a conversation that goes back 20 years, and probably every expert in the world has opined on it.

      txt: Fair Use Vs. Free Speech in the Internet Age: The Lane Hartwell Problem - www.techcrunch.com
      The rights of the copyright holder have always been balanced against the more fundamental right of free speech. And free speech in the Internet age, more so than ever before, goes way beyond words and text. The way people express themselves on the Web increasingly involves images, video, animations, and other rich media, often in mash-ups of pre-existing works. That is how people communicate today. Both copyright law and industry standards need to evolve to take that into consideration.

      oddtag: I haven't read the magazine, but these questions (it's always the questions the best clues) caught me.. txt: www.pavilionmagazine.org - What was socialism, and what comes next - issue 10/11 via: e-flux.com
      The changes of 1989 did more than disturb western complacency about the "new world order" and preempt the imagined fraternity of a new European Union: they signaled that a thorough-going reorganization of the globe is in course. In that case, we might wonder at the effort to implant perhaps-obsolescent western forms in "the East." This is what I mean: what comes next is anybody's guess.

      txt: No Title Required - Wislawa Szymborska (Polish Nobel Prize winner) via: new-art.blogspot.com
      [...] So it happens that I am and look. Above me a white butterfly is fluttering through the air on wings that are its alone, and a shadow skims through my hands that is none other than itself, no one else’s but its own. When I see such things, I’m no longer sure that what’s important is more important than what’s not.
      txt: 2008 - Frieze Magazine - frieze asked 23 critics and curators from around the world to choose what they are looking forward to in 2008
      Jan Verwoert: I’m looking forward to more time spent alone and with friends on invoking micro-societies dedicated to the appreciation of art, ideas and other workable ways to live a good life. Anton Vidokle: I see more and more evidence of artistic, discursive and organizational practices coalescing into a kind of an undifferentiated mode of art production. This phenomenon has as much to do with rethinking basic economic structures behind art practice as with rethinking the traditional categories of artistic roles and circulation of art. I look forward to seeing these tendencies being further articulated in the forthcoming year.

      txt from: The New York Times - By ALEX WILLIAMS
      “Our lives are just getting busier, the world is starting to throw more stuff at us,” he said. “Five years ago it was still pretty rare to have relatives sending you IMs. No one had Flickr feeds or Twitter. YouTube, Facebook and MySpace didn’t exist.”

      The World Wide Warhol Economy

      from: Princeton University Press: intro to The Warhol Economy: How Fashion, Art, and Music Drive New York City - by Elizabeth Currid
      In The Warhol Economy, Elizabeth Currid argues that creative industries like fashion, art, and music drive the economy of New York as much as--if not more than--finance, real estate, and law. And these creative industries are fueled by the social life that whirls around the clubs, galleries, music venues, and fashion shows where creative people meet, network, exchange ideas, pass judgments, and set the trends that shape popular culture.
      from: Hu Jintao's keynote speech
      "Culture has become a more and more important source of national cohesion and creativity and a factor of growing significance in the competition in overall national strength," "...to vigorously develop the cultural industry, launch major projects to lead the industry as a whole, speed up the development of cultural industry bases and clusters of cultural industries with regional features, nurture key enterprises and strategic investors, create a thriving cultural market and enhance the industry's international competitiveness"
