ephemera Issue X Released

Issue X of ephemera has just been published in cooperation with Framework: The Finnish Art Review.

In September 2005 a meeting called Capturing the Moving Mind: Management and Movement in the Age of Permanently Temporary War took place on the Trans-Siberian train from Helsinki to Moscow to Novosibirsk to Beijing. The purpose of this meeting was a "cosmological" one. We gathered a group of people, researchers, philosophers, activists, artists and others interested in the changes going on in society and engaged in changing the society as their own moving image, an image of time. In this experiment everybody was "alone together" each one taking care of her/himself at the same time participating in the band, sometimes in the centre, again finding her/himself at its edge, like a pack of wolves around a fire with neighbours to the left and to the right, holding on by just a hand or a foot, but with nobody behind them, their backs naked and exposed to the Gobi desert. We explicitly did not want to create a community or to have a common cause. Rather we wanted to experiment with those who don't have nor need one. We wanted to create with our hands and bodies something new.
