*Dear All, companions and friends *
I am Sergio , an Italian activist - artist , now in California for an
artist residency program ( a program of artistic research ) .
I'd like to share with you the idea of my next art project that i'll like
activate .
All my artistic research is aimed at highlighting the social, political and
econoniche . The way I work is a participatory approach , I'm interested in
the creative process to include community , political activists, groups '
marginal , local populations.
My porssimo project is aimed at realizing a video store on the city of
Detroit , a city that for several deceni has been the symbol of capitalism,
Fordism and unbridled industrialization .
I'd like to extend the project through this email list .
For the realization of the archive, which will then be placed online will
be well accepted video in any format, any length , any size, any quality
and resolution of images and audio, video, amateur and professional .
Below I attach the statement of my artistic research , the link where you
can find some of my work and do not hesitate to contact me for any
information.
My email is: utopiaracanati(a)gmail.com
I apologize for my English , but I trust in the understanding of the
content, and you will be very happy to realize this project with all of you
.
*STATEMENT :*
The focus of my work relies on my interest in the social history of man
in relation to the urban political and architectural environments of human
life.
My work probes into those side-elements forgotten by history while focusing
on
the relationship between urban landscape and man’s societal development,
between history of architecture and man’s political behaviours.
I explore the consequences of the polarization of human existence between
forms of conformism and integration, between differentiation and
resistance.
I also make remarks on the relationship between individual and collective
memory in contingent history.
My work, which is intimate, albeit not a diary, escapes every narrative
purpose
to prioritize an analytical perspective meant to build a repository of
cultural
memory to be drawn upon in terms references and examples to be used in a
critical thinking and re-interpretation of present times.

Get some thin sheets of polyimide which have copper on one or both sides.
Polyimide is a yellow polymer with a high melting temperature and is
sometimes called Kapton. A common type of copper-coated polyimide is
DuPont "Pyralux" material.
Pyralux sheets come in many different varieties of polyimide thickness,
copper thickness and adhesive thickness (the "adhesive" is between the
copper and polyimide holding everything together.) Copper thickness is
given in oz per square foot, while adhesive and Kapton thickness is given
in mil (1 mil =0.001 inch).
Pyralux LF7062 (pictured) has 1/2 oz Cu, 1/2 mil adhesive and 1 mil
Kapton. This works OK but is a bit thin and crinkly for the printer to
handle.
LF9120 has 1 oz Cu, 1 mil adhesive and 2 mil Kapton - seems to work best
in the printer
LF9210 has 2 oz Cu, 1 mil adhesive and 1 mil Kapton - stiffer, but works
OK
Other options are double sided copper ( a sandwich of Cu/Kapton/Cu held
together with adhesive) and a roughened surface, denoted by R at the end
of the part number.
The roughened sheets and double sided sheet work OK. However, Pyralux with
2 oz or thicker copper can be difficult to feed to the printer, especially
if there is copper on both sides.
See if you can get a free sample from DuPont. Occasionally, Pyralux sheets
turn up on eBay.
Cut the Pyralux sheets to 8.5x11 or 8.5x14 inches with scissors or a
knife. Avoid smudging the copper with fingerprints or oil, which can block
the etch solution later. To protect the printer, try to keep the edges
relatively flat and free of burrs.
For direct printing on the copper film, locate a solid-ink printer. These
are commonly confused with laser printers, but instead print melted wax.
Unlike most inkjets, the wax makes a good protective layer for copper
etching, and unlike laser printers, solid ink printers don't rely on
locally charging the paper surface, which could be troublesome when the
paper is replaced by a copper sheet.
Some models are Tektronix Phaser 840, 850, 860, and Xerox Phaser 8200,
8400, 8500, 8560, and 8860. You might find one in an office. Most Phaser
models are regular laser printers, so check under the hood for the solid
ink blocks (pictured) if you're not sure.
If you don't have access to a solid ink printer, the "toner transfer" iron
on method, using a laser-printed design, could replace this step.

Existence is Resistance has finally made it to the West Coast and after

last weekend, we are screening again THIS MONDAY in San Francisco.

Hip Hop is Bigger than the Occupation is a documentary about a ten day
journey of artists traveling through Palestine, teaching and performing
nonviolent resistance through the arts. The tour included M1 of Dead Prez,
Shadia Mansour, Marcel Cartier, Mazzi of Soul Purpose, DJ Vega Benetton,
Lowkey, Jody McIntyre and Trinidad, Brandon and Lavie from the South West
Youth Collaborative/University of Hip Hop Chicago.
Staying in the heart of Balata Refugee Camp at the Yafa Cultural Center in
Nablus the group witnesses night raids, toured places like Hebron where
there are roads for the Arabs and roads for the Jews, they meet families of
shaheeds as well as young Palestinians who have been jailed, shot and
humiliated. The group visits Bi’lin where they get shot at and tear gassed
and experience first hand what it felt like living under occupation.
so bummed that i missed the screening of "hip hop is bigger than the
occupation" this past saturday. anyone make it? any feedback?
for any folks this side of the bay, it looks like they're screening it in
san francisco this monday, flier attached.
peace!

Hey all, we reached consensus on this tonight:
- Categories of events we strongly discourage:
- events not open to the public (already a long established policy)
- events sponsored by or held by arms manufacturers or defense industry
- possible other categories if they arise - list acknowledged as
incomplete
- There won't be extra infrastructure for vetting events but these
values will be applied do-o-cratically by the community. To help with this,
we strongly encourage tags to be used on the mailing list:
- [event] for events
- [!] for urgent or potentially controversial things
Additionally, do-ocratically, here are some relevant action items:
- Phone trees - notification of email only.
- Calls / Texts you? - Tom :D
- Contacts for awesome event collaboration, for feedback on last-minute
events
- Timon, Marc, Tom, Matt
