Airplot is the piece of land in the middle of the proposed third runway site at Heathrow airport, owned by Greenpeace, Emma Thompson, Alistair McGowan, Zac Goldsmith and tens of thousands of people from around the world. The Airplot is a fundamental part of the campaign by Greenpeace and other groups to block construction of a new runway. Greenpeace is now inviting professional designers and design teams to consider how to fortify and enhance the airplot so that if necessary, they can physically block construction of a third runway.
Wow.

"Passionate individuals and non-profit organizations from the region of Rennes, Brittany, France invite you to participate in the first Breizh Entropy Congress. This inter-disciplinary event focuses on free (as in freedom) creations and culture.
Through a meeting fostering open-mindedness, exchange of ideas and learning, we hope to show solutions to technical, social and political problems, and celebrate free, reclaimed and creative art and technology.
We happily welcome entropy, as a means to break artificial boundaries between disciplines and find unexpected ways of doing things that promote liberalization, sharing and reclaiming of technologies that traditionnally belonged to the realm of corporations and well-funded academic labs."

"Nepotists, opportunists, friends, freaks and strangers intersecting in the grey zone is a project in which role defining, blurring and shifting intersect within and outside art. The mise-en-scène in Z33 becomes a mise-en-action, which addresses the presence, responsibility and potential actions of the artist, visitor or audience. In its form and structure, the grey zone challenges traditional presentation venues. The white or the black box becomes grey or coloured and is always changeable."

Suicide Machine currently runs with Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and LinkedIn!"
