I still don’t get why Australia is implementing a filter; spying of phone calls, emails and web browsing; and the ACTA. Governments traditionally only instate oppressive tactics when there is a need to, when the public are dangerous to them, but we are a wealthy country, our economy is strong and ever if the US economy collapses we are tied to China and will, at least, have a much better chance of surviving that, for instance the US.We are wealthy; because of this the Australian people are happy, because they are happy there is no need for them to question the government. Why is the government oppressing us when we are under their control already? The US aren’t trying to instate [as] oppressive tactics yet they are on the possible verge of collapse (within which, the people will not be happy and will blame the government), they need these filters and spying more than Australia yet Australia is the country leading the oppression and we are the healthiest.
I still don’t know why, it’s going against tradition and it makes no sense for this to happen to Australia?

We need a new word for Journalism.

May 31, 2010 in Otherwith 0 Comments

I don’t care if journalism dies. Why? Because it died long ago. Journalism today is an amalgamation of pop journalism. Articles with a controversial headline merely for the purpose of ad revenue, articles on meaningless pop culture, and newspapers, all owned by the same entity or having the exact same agenda (etc.) have destroyed journalism; the mainstream is nothing but dribble. The old-school journalism still, exists but more in niche markets (where the general public avoid). We need a new word for Journalism, the current meaning has occupying forces on it and they appear to have a world-wide backing…

Any ideas?

Proposal for Arts Magazine Project

May 29, 2010 in Otherwith 0 Comments

Please register interest here!

PDF or proposal here.

This is a brief initial proposal for a Magazine/Gazette/Journal/etc. relating to the fine arts and the arts in general. I am looking for initial interest not contributors or contributions. However, anyone who merely wishes to register interest can.

I am also looking for people that would be willing to help start this project. Preferably people from many different aspects of the art world (music, literature, Art, photography, film, etc.) to represent there respective areas.

My initial thoughts on the project is that it will be strongly academic in it’s approach. With that in mind, contributions to the project would need to be academically minded and well informed about their respective areas; simply dabbling in the area or writing reviews elsewhere would not be what I’d consider appropriate experience.
