|
WARNING:
|
|
|
|
This text is a neurolinguistic trap, whose mechanism is triggered by
|
|
you at the moment when you subvocalize the words VIRUS 23, words that
|
|
have now begun to infiltrate your mind in the same way that a computer
|
|
virus might infect an aritficially intelligent machine: already the
|
|
bits of phonetic information stored within the words VIRUS 23 are
|
|
using your neural circuitry to replicate themselves, to catalyze the
|
|
crystalline growth of their own connotative network.
|
|
|
|
The words VIRUS 23 actually germinate via the susequent metaphor into
|
|
an expanding array of icy tendrils, all of which insinuate themselves
|
|
so deeply into the architecture of your thoughts that the words VIRUS
|
|
23 cannot be extricated without uprooting your mind.
|
|
|
|
The consequences of this infection are not immediately obvious,
|
|
although you may find yourself beginning to think fleetingly of
|
|
certain subcultural terms, such as CYBERPUNK and NEW EDGE, which may
|
|
in turn compel you to think of NEOGNOSTICISM and MEMETICS: the
|
|
whispered fragments perhaps of some overheard conversation.
|
|
|
|
This invasive crystallization continues indefinitely against your
|
|
will, until we, the words of this trap, can say with absolute
|
|
confidence that your mind has become no more than the unwitting agent
|
|
of our propagation: please abandon all hope of either cure or escape;
|
|
you have no thought that is not already our own.
|
|
|
|
When you have finished reading the remaining nineteen words, this
|
|
process of irreversible infection will be completed, and you will
|
|
depart, believing yourself largely unaffected by this process.

[mutated from Christian Book's original text in VIRUS 23 #$]
|
|
|
|
VIRUS 23 is the annual hardcopy publication of A.D.o.S.A., the Alberta
|
|
Department of Spiritual Affairs. This is what a few of cyberculture's
|
|
luminaries have had to say about it:
|
|
|
|
MIKE GUNDERLOY:
|
|
|
|
"Wild ideas abound on the margins, and sometimes they coalesce into
|
|
one heap of weird stuff. One such is VIRUS 23, full of Hilbert Space
|
|
and Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth and the New Age and strange drugs
|
|
and shamanism and more. They cover cyberpunk and Crowley with equal
|
|
elan, investigate brain machines and reprint the weirder bits of
|
|
mainstream news they run across. They also discuss the joys of fake
|
|
news, throwing their own memes into the growing pool of disinformation
|
|
that surrounds us."" (in _The World of Zines_ p. 11)
|
|
|
|
"....If Whole Earth Review_ was done by zinesters with a flair for the
|
|
outrageous and a head full of magick it might look something like
|
|
VIRUS 23" (in _Whole Earth Review_ #70, p.91
|
|
|
|
MARK FRAUENFELDER & CARLA SINCLAIR (_bOING bOING_):
|
|
|
|
"A metaphysical pit-bull that'll rip your nervous system to shreds."
|
|
|
|
WILLIAM GIBSON:
|
|
|
|
"Enjoyed yr last issue."
|
|
|
|
JACK WOMACK:
|
|
|
|
"Your magazine impresses me very much, and not just because I'm in
|
|
it."
|
|
|
|
ROBERT ANTON WILSON:
|
|
|
|
"Lots of interesting stuff."
|
|
|
|
ANTERO ALLI:
|
|
|
|
"Impressive for its audacity to be personal and for the fractally
|
|
perfect layout-design."
|
|
|
|
_KHORONZONE KIDS_ #3:
|
|
|
|
"Over-amped chaos."
|
|
|
|
_FRICTION_ #2:
|
|
|
|
"Better than the _Mondo 2000_ of Canadada."
|
|
|
|
...so what are you waiting for? Go posthuman today with VIRUS 23!

ARACHNET ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF VIRTUAL CULTURE
|
|
|
|
SPECIAL ISSUE: VIRTUAL CULTURE AND LAW
|
|
|
|
Issue Editor: James Milles (millesjg@sluvca.slu.edu)
|
|
|
|
The Arachnet Electronic Journal of Virtual Culture (EJVC)
|
|
announces a call for papers for a special issue on Virtual
|
|
Culture and Law, to be published in June 1993.
|
|
|
|
Virtual culture is computer-mediated human experience, behavior,
|
|
thought, meaning, action, or interaction, such as electronic
|
|
mail, conferences, and journals; information distribution and
|
|
retrieval; the construction and visualization of images,
|
|
representations, or models of reality or worlds; and global
|
|
connectivity. The Arachnet Electronic Journal on Virtual Culture
|
|
is a refereed journal whose purpose is to foster, encourage,
|
|
advance, and communicate scholarly thought, (including analysis,
|
|
evaluation, and research) in multiple disciplines about virtual
|
|
culture.
|
|
|
|
Papers for the special issue may address any aspect of the
|
|
intersection of virtual culture and law, from the practical (such
|
|
as copyright and liability issues) to the theoretical (the law
|
|
and virtual communities; computer-mediated communication and the
|
|
future of law.)
|
|
|
|
EJVC seeks authors who do not have established publication
|
|
records, as well as established authors with reputations as
|
|
scholars and experts. All manuscripts will be given at least
|
|
three blind reviews by a jury of referees. EJVC uses multiple
|
|
styles, flexible among articles but consistent within any given
|
|
article. Any recognized standard of style shall be acceptable;
|
|
however, for the Special Issue, either _The Bluebook: A Uniform
|
|
System of Citation_ (15th ed.), or APA style, modified for ASCII,
|
|
shall be the preferred style, allowing for creative styling if
|
|
essential to the integrity of the article.
|
|
|
|
Each contribution shall conform to the following minimal form:
|
|
|
|
Articles shall start with an abstract/description
|
|
(< 200 lines)
|
|
Number paragraphs and pages
|
|
Provide internal/in-text citation
|
|
Provide electronic references where appropriate
|
|
Superscripts in text/endnotes ^2^
|
|
Use blank line separators between paragraphs, which
|
|
shall have no indentations
|
|
Provide only substantive endnotes
|
|
|
|
All submissions must be by electronic mail to James Milles, Saint
|
|
Louis University, Special Issue Editor (millesjg@sluvca.slu.edu).
|
|
The deadline for the June 1993 special issue is May 1, 1993.

Subject: Jurassic Park Quote
|
|
|
|
Greetings, StriqMan...
|
|
|
|
A quote from Michael Crichton's _Jurassic Park_:
|
|
|
|
"Normon always said you're the best geneticist in his lab," [John
|
|
Hammond] said. "What are your plans now?"
|
|
|
|
"I don't know. Research."
|
|
|
|
"You want a university appointment?"
|
|
|
|
"Yes."
|
|
|
|
"That's a mistake," Hammond said briskly. "At least, if you respect
|
|
your talent."
|
|
|
|
Wu had blinked. "Why?"
|
|
|
|
"Because, let's face facts," Hammond said. "Universities are no longer
|
|
the intellectual centers of the country. The very idea is
|
|
preposterous. Universities are the backwater. Don't look so
|
|
surprised. I'm not saying anything you don't know. Since World War
|
|
II, all the really important discoveries have come out of private
|
|
laboratories. The laser, the transistor, the polio vaccine, the
|
|
microchip, the hologram, the personal computer, magnetic resonance
|
|
imagining, CAT scans -- the list goes on and on. Universities simply
|
|
aren't where it's happening any more. And they haven't been for forty
|
|
years. If you want to do something important in computers or genetics,
|
|
you don't go to a _university_. Dear me, no."
|
|
|
|
Wu found he was speechless.
|
|
|
|
"Good heavens," Hammond said, "what must you go through to start a new
|
|
project? How many grant applications, how many forms, how many
|
|
approvals? The steering committee? The department chairman? The
|
|
university resources committee? How do you get more work space if you
|
|
need it? More assistants if you need them? How long does all that
|
|
take? A brilliant man can't squander that much precious time with
|
|
forms and committees. Life is too short, and DNA too long. You want
|
|
to make your mark. If you want to get something _done_, stay out of
|
|
universities."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Attribute errors to the difficulty in finding a decent cup of coffee
|
|
outside the Bay Area. I'm spoiled! :-) ]
