This looks incredible.

Strange alignment. I’ve been reading & recommending the pirate issue of Culture Machine, I’ve watched the excessively saccharine trailer for Richard Curtis‘ take on the history of pirate radio, and I’ve been trying to hammer out some more thoughts and issues relating to the whole Free Territory thing.
Then I start reading an article in the “pirate issue” by Alexander Galloway – ‘Debord’s Nostalgic Algorithm’. A impenetrable fog of a title for this curious piece 0n Guy Debord – vaguely known to me as a situationist and the father of psychogeography. Oh, and the guy who said:
‘Boredom is always counter-revolutionary. Always.’
Galloway’s article begins to talk about Debord’s dabblings in boardgames. I stop. Intriuging, I think, as a experimental google conjures forth an old post on UvA’s Masters of New Media blog. And then I see Anne Helmond. Then, further down the results list, rumours about AG being served a cease-and-desist by GD’s estate. And an attack on the article by detail-minded anarchists.
And, after writing this post, I’ll probably have to return to the article (opens pdf). But my attention span is short, and easily distracted by pictures like this one:
WANT.
