The New Casbah is...
in the crooked alleys of the web, a non-physical reality or infrastructure transposed onto the grid of our society (nice piece by The Funambulist - an architectural site I just stumbled upon yesterday). real protestors are surrounded by a real police force who are then surrounded by the immaterial networking of protestors utilizing the internet, or what Douglas Rushkoff calls “the control panel of civilization.” The revolution is being programmed. And if you haven’t seen The Battle of Algiers you need to.
