An inquiry into the rationale of this notable figure situates him within a late 20th Century web of technology - a system that he grew to oppose. Incorporating a subversive approach to the history of the Internet, the documentary combines speculative travelogue and investigative journalism to trace contrasting counter cultural responses to the cybernetic revolution. </p> <p>For those who resist these intrusive systems of technological control, the Unabomber has come to symbolize an ultimate figure of refusal. For those that embrace it, as did the early champions of media art like Marshall McLuhan, Nam June Paik, and Stewart Brand, the promises of worldwide networking and instantaneous communication outweighed the perils. </p> <p>Working through themes of utopianism, anarchism, terrorism, and providing insights on the CIA, LSD, Project MK-ULTRA, Timothy Leary, Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, Dammbeck provides a fascinating view of the wider picture of the most famous neo-luddite.</p>http://www.encephalous.com/post/32389341069http://www.encephalous.com/post/32389341069Thu, 27 Sep 2012 04:30:31 -0700documentaryunabomberted kaczynskiinternettechnologylutz dammbeckcialsdmkultramk-ultramind controldrugssocietyanarchyanarchismterrorismphilosophy<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Gld6Aen_7Qg?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Ultra rare footage of Paul Laffoley giving a lecture/presentation.
