> Dear Yes Men subscriber,
>
> This is just a quick note about a couple of things--and to ask you
> for a big, big favor.
>
> First, we're on the road, at the moment in Oregon, doing our strange
> variety of campaigning. We plan to keep going, mostly through swing
> states, up till November 2; watch here for updates:
> http://www.theyesmen.org/blog/
>
> Also, in just two weeks, on September 24, the movie about our *last*
> strange round of campaigning--a three-year stint posing as WTO
> representatives--will be released by United Artists in New York and
> Los Angeles.
>
> In "The Yes Men," a lot of powerful folks, including our current
> "president," find their ideas and actions exposed and skewered in
> crazy, funny, and horrible ways. Many of those who have seen the
> movie in festivals have said they left the theater enraged, engaged,
> and full of the urge to act; even press screenings, usually dour
> events, have people rolling in the aisles, then writing us heartfelt
> messages.
>
> A number of viewers have even told us they think "The Yes Men" could
> make a difference in the thinking of "middle America." Just in case
> they're right, we have to do everything in our power to make sure it
> gets to that audience.
>
> This is where the favor comes in. If our movie doesn't have a big
> opening week in New York and Los Angeles, it won't go anywhere
> else--that's the way it works with small films these days. For folks
> in smaller cities to see it, "The Yes Men" has to be seen by many
> thousands of people in New York and Los Angeles the week of September
> 24. Can you help make that happen?
>
> This movie (like our new book, http://www.theyesmen.org/book/) has
> already been ringingly endorsed by George W. Bush ("There ought to be
> limits to freedom") and the ex-director of the World Trade
> Organization ("Deplorable"). But believe it or not, even such glowing
> reviews won't get it into theaters in Toledo and St. Paul.
>
> So please: on September 24 or in the week thereafter, if you live in
> or near New York or Los Angeles, PLEASE go see "The Yes Men." Take
> your friends. Take your enemies. Take people you've never met. And
> forward this message widely.
>
> That way, other people you've never met, who live in swing states,
> will get yet another dose of political education in movie form--this
> one coated in a thick, sugary layer of laughs.

MEDIA RELEASE :: 05 September 2004
For Immediate Release

MULTIMEDIA ART CREATED BY HACKER AND CRACKER ARTISTS.

The First Book ever about the 'Demoscene' culture has been released.
Titled as "Demoscene: The Art of Real-Time". The book has 72 pages and is
published by Even Lake Studios & katastro.fi.

The demoscene is one of the most interesting phenomena to come out of
digital media culture. It's a culture created by the first generation of
kids who grew up with home computers and computer games in the 1980s.

Even before Internet use became widespread, thousands of audiovisual works
had been globally published and distributed by the demoscene culture. This
was done using modems and diskettes. At the same time, the cracking scene,
which has always been a close relative of the demoscene, systematically
cracked and distributed just about every computer game and program to come
on the market.

The demoscene spawned a group of people that have worked in or started
companies that played an important and pioneering role in the game, new
media, digital graphics and ICT-sector industries in many countries. The
demoscene was where many digital media artists, electronic music
composers, as well as visual club culture and virtual community activists
got their start.

In the 2000s, the demoscene is still an active and productive global
network and culture. This book is the first of its kind dealing with the
demoscene.
