This Nano-Virtual-Sit-In is being performed on the 5th anniversary of the war on Iraq. We have chosen biotech and nanotech corporations and organizations as our targets, because their science is driven by the war and drives the war.

The Electronic Disturbance Theater and the borderlands Hacklab call for a virtual strike against these war profiteers on March 19th, 2008, in solidarity with the Bay Area Direct Action to Stop the War and actions in the street around the world.

Voices from Academia: Ricardo Dominguez

Thursday, Mar. 6, 2008

Professor Ricardo Dominguez is principal investigator at the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology and an assistant professor for UCSD’s visual arts department. He has had extensive experience both participating in and investigating activism; he created a program that allows an activist group to slow any Web site to a halt by flooding it with requests, a form of protest known as a virtual sit-in. Through this, Dominguez got the attention of the National Security Agency. He is currently developing a performance project on nanotechnology called B.A.N.G. lab (Bits, Atoms, Neurons and Genes).
