Virtual?

A small addition to the dubious to recall decision in Munich with a virtual monument to the victims of National Socialism. It is a contribution from the below-mentioned Jewish Allmanach about places and spaces and quotes an e-mail joke that many received during the al-Aqsa Intifada. Just to reiterate here to clear the message was wrong (but not the oppressive subtext of the joke):

" Washington, D C., December 28 (Intelligence) As a sign of the end of terretorialen` phase '.. Zionism was the Barak government today announced the launch of a virtual Israel, which was to take the place of the real Israel. On the occasion of a gala at the White House to celebrate a renewed thrust on the Israeli-Palestinian peace, Prime Minister Barak, that all the expelled Jews living in Israel to a new Arab state of Palestine to make room. However, the displaced Jews in Israeli cyberspace with websites would be compensated. The new state of Israel is to see www.postzionism.com. 'This requires some sacrifice on the part of Israelis', Barak admitted, `but it's worth the peace'."

affirmation of forgetting















the occasion of the presentation of the competition "victims of Nazism - New forms of remembrance" in Munich, here again, a reference to my open letter of December 2008.
(Note: click first link and then scroll right down)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
have already in my competition entry I noted critically that the refusal to define a place of memory, the basic problem of this contest was. This virtual memorial is an affirmation This immeasurable. Even then, I've
asked whether a virtual media project rather not be in the realm of oblivion as the moves of remembering. The city of Munich has now missed an opportunity: It was namely from the beginning of this competition is not a "formal" but a "physical" solution. It was whether the city of Munich the courage demonstrated a physical space for victims to make available - and not any, but with a weight! Since most of these places, such as the Royal Palace, created in the vicinity of the new Nazi documentation center, but not the city, but the Free State of Bavaria is one of the conflict once again a little more complex. It was therefore a bold decision with the political realities to deal! to "occupy" My decision to go with the king place one of the sore points in Munich had reason, it was expected, just as little chance of "success". It was important to me but because it would have been just the starting point of that discussion, which unfortunately failed to (and will probably never done). More seriously, therefore, that the hoped-for confrontation and then failed to public debate and everything was enveloped in a collective silence. This was not only Disrespectful to all participating artists over, there was a dramatic confirmation that Munich had failed on this issue.

So what can we expect from tomorrow's event at the Munich Town Hall Gallery? Besides the usual gestures of self-affirmation probably not much!
From the silence is hardly more than a more or less short-media noise.

Yet! Still less regard to the fundamental problem of this dubious Tender process and just such a jury decision that it would be worth discussing:
Some years ago have been conducted in Jerusalem at a similar theme, but with completely different circumstances, a fierce public debate. It was whether to install a webcam at the Wailing Wall or Zionist diasporic is ... You can guess which side of the coin in the KotelCAM lay there for many!
Who wants to read should the Jewish Almmanach - order places and spaces from the Jewish publisher (Suhrkamp), edited by Gisela Dachs and specifically Shaindy Rudoff review lead Holy cyber sites to heart.

The virtual state / Notice to Federal Data Summit














Let us imagine that the media networked society to be regarded as virtual state. Of course this would be a virtual state with completely different rules and objectives as the state structure the physical world. The founding of this nation should not even be proclaimed in a solemn ceremony, even though its inhabitants, or number of users and its economic power would be greater than that of most nations on earth.

constitutional lawyer would certainly raise many legitimate objections to such an idea: Would such a state under international law even possible? Would other states to recognize such an individualistic Union? Who would be the president of this virtual state? In what location would be the seat of government? If this state ever established a written constitution? And if there is a constitutional would this be democratic? Would such a state of danger to go out?

It would also, we argue, there were already experimental (and failed) the creation of states, such as the Austrian artist Edwin Lipburger, who exclaimed in 1976 with a ball-shaped house, the "Republic Kugelmugel" in Wiener Neustadt. The project book launched from a violent dispute in Austria. Because of official arrogance Lipburger was finally convicted three years later to 10 months in prison. Today, the building as a carnival-oddity at the Vienna Prater. Other start-ups such as the environmental organization Greenpeace, a Political Namely the goal to block oil drilling in the North Sea. Greenpeace occupied a 25 meter wide and 20 meters high rock, 450 kilometers off the coast of Scotland, and called the state attributes "Wave Country". The self proclaimed "data haven" was indeed the surf of the sea but can not withstand the loss of data was carried out by the liquidation of its provider. Today this Waveland only of an "imaginary space".

quite different but it would behave with the new virtual state:

He decided not to declare themselves, because there is nobody who could call him. He dispenses with a central organizational structure, because its rhizomatic structure invisible makes it invulnerable. It offers maximum freedom, even if freedom threatened by Google's monopoly on power in the network. This State omitted even insisted to claim officially physical land, except for the cooled locations of the servers. Unfortunately, Germany
has produced not a single Internet start-up that could compete in the category of Google, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and similar Internet majors. Why you consider this country now, where is is exactly the "red line" that Google & Co can not be exceeded. It almost seems like a desperate attempt to cloud to miss a Din standard. So while the physical limits of the States, through rivers, Mountains, or were formed along the old battle lines knows, this virtual state limit.

Moreover, even if the user of the virtual state are at the same time a citizen of a physical nation-state would not necessarily mean that this is in the public interest such as Germany are committed.

Had this state, only a fiction? No, because this virtual state would not be in contrast to the real, but the physical, because without a doubt are the electronic systems are not fictitious or unreal world, but act directly in the physical world - with sometimes tragic consequences, such as was the financial crisis. Many people have lost their physical homes. Just Facebook and Twitter would retain them as a "virtual home" until the last credit card would be confiscated.

we are about so ago that this "virtual state" with all those who have the physical nation-states turned their backs, now it begins to colonize the physical world. New rules would establish its technical qua appearance. Obsolete national and regional laws of the old nation-states would be as ineffective as the dance of an Indian medicine man at the arrival of the first English galley.

has just found the Federal Data Summit in Berlin. This policy is in Germany on a national data protection regime and the self-regulation by the market. This must be seen as capitulation! Even if it will shed the virtual colonial masters a few crocodile tears, one can assume that it will leave them at the end of the day quite cold.
