BIO
Joseph Rabie is a biodegradable member of the human race but is happy to tell you that decay, dry rot or any other form of physical or mental diminishment have yet to compromise my incredibly good humour. As a disclaimer, kindly note that my children may be of a contrary opinion. In real life: I was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, where my only arms against Apartheid were satire and caricature. I studied Architecture and Urban Design at the Technion, in Haifa, Israel, but left when Ariel Sharon offered me a role in the 1982 invasion of Lebanon. After working in various architectural offices in Paris, I spent 1989 in the CIMA computing and architecture laboratory, where I developed a programme for the 3D representation of urban codes. From 1990 to 1994 I ran an urban design office in Toulouse; I now run a multimedia company called Magelis (http://www.magelis.com) where I am currently exploring the paradox that though we have clients in the banking industry, this does not make our own banker consider our catastrophic cash flow problems with humanity. In 1992 I made an interactive cartoon strip that won a "noteworthy" mention in the 1994 "New Voices, New Visions" competition organised by "Wired", "Interval Research", and the (much regretted) "Voyager Company" of New York. In 1998 my Iceland Sundaes web site (http://www.magelis.com/isundaes/) was exhibited at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art during the LAFreewaves Festival. Since 2000 I have been working on interactive photography; in 2002 I was invited by the Festival "1erContacts" in Issy-les-Moulineaux (Paris) to make an outdoor, photographic, sound-driven installation. The "Over My Dead Body" project, a world wide online demo, was launched in November 2002.

INAUGURATION
Today is the inauguration of the "Over My Dead Body" project. You are cordially invited to participate - if, of course, you identify yourself with the project's goals.
The "Over My Dead Body" project is an online, virtual demonstration, politicising the major themes of globalisation and the economy, the environment, etc. The federating platform is the promotion of "the politics of generosity" to unblock the stranglehold of corporate and nationalist self-interest upon the world's destiny.
People are invited to participate, and are represented symbolically in the demonstration by their name, place of residence, and if they so wish, photo, and virtual placard. Thus people from the four corners of the globe may fraternise and march together.
The site also contains a section called "The State of Things", which presents an evolving portrait of the world today. The "About" section contains the project Manifesto, and other information.
If you agree with what the project represents - come join the demo with us! And please forward this message to your family, your friends, your colleagues. The presence of each person is important: a trickle becomes a torrent that becomes a tidal wave, rolling for change.
