Rejecting the dichotomy of centralism and horizontalism that has deeply marked millennial politics, Rodrigo Nunes' close analysis of network systems demonstrates how organising within contemporary social and political movements exists somewhere between - or beyond - the two. Rather than the party or chaos, the one or the multitude, he discovers a 'bestiary' of hybrid organisational forms and practices that render such disjunctives false. The resulting picture shows how social and technical networks can and do facilitate strategic action and fluid distributions of power at the same time. It is by developing the strategic potentials that are already immanent to networks, he argues, that contemporary solutions to the question of organisation can be developed.

This book is a psychoarchaeological reconstruction of an art collective, irational.org, who existed in the times of the internet. The material reconstituted here was derived, after irational.org's disappearance, from multiple requests for data from their archived art server. These requests, made by post, were submitted by the author, V.M., to an unidentified and unreliable Data Auditor, using a Secure Access Protocol. It is rumoured that access to the archive was securitised by irational.org because it contains highly sensitive, possibly incriminating, data. The psychoarchaeologist's reconstruction reveals a cultural organisation that satirised, resisted and internalised the libertarian yet bureaucratic tendencies of a surveillance society, and its obsession with data privacy, security and property. The trail runs cold as the group made its retreat into the woods from a world that was disintegrating. Part of the PML Books series. A collaboration between Mute & the Post-Media Lab

The one true solution in life is that there are no solutions.

Transformation of Consciousness: I have come to an acute realization how crucial and vital is human to express in life. Being able to communicate using language, a culturally acquired symbol, is an ability that is unique to humans. Language, however, by the virtue of its nature, is limited by cultural boundaries; one has to learn it to communicate. However, unlike language, can transmit feelings and ideas evoking them through lines, shapes, texture, arrangement and/or colors, on a two/three dimensional space. My love for, interest in, and an innate aptitude in the visual arts inevitably determined the artistic medium by which I am to "express" my life. It can transcend temporal and spatial boundaries; it speaks universal human "language." - InSoon -

'Law Enforcement Slogans' is the book form of an artwork of the same name which has been exhibited at London's Whitechapel Gallery as part of The London Open in 2012 and Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art in 2013 in the exhibition Other People's Problems: Conflicts and Paradoxes. When exhibited the work is a floor to ceiling list of international law enforcement slogans paired with the respective agency name in order. In book format each double page spread lists slogans by letter of the alphabet, with slogans on the left-hand page faced on the right by agency name. The first pages list slogans beginning with the letter A 'A Commitment To First Nations - Dakota Ojibway Police Service, Manitoba, Canada' to the final page which ends with 'Zero Deaths. Everyone Counts' from Alaska Bureau Of Highway Patrol, USA. Both sets of text, slogan and agency name, are aligned towards the book gutter where the pages meet. This references how the work was shown at the Whitechapel Gallery and Herzliya, as a single column. Law Enforcement Slogans was first shown in 2011 as a printed spreadsheet, forming part of a group taking place in a disused London office.

This book Patterns of Consciousness is a collection of five books; these are Inspired Individuality, Transcendent Emergence, Soul Mechanics, Astral Projection and Akashic Arwen. Each of the books in this series contains thirty eight separate pieces of abstract psychedelic line art, which to those with the gift of imagination is capable of merging and morphing into many different aspects of the one central image, it is almost as if the pages can come to life The pieces of artwork contained within are not simply the random lines of a faceless abstract chaos. At a fundamental level each one has within it the subtle design of subliminal meaning representing and expressing the dynamics of self as you gaze deep inside its mystic matrix of meaning. Intended to be the next big thing in the psychology of the personality and of the subconscious in the same way that the Rorschach 'Ink-Blot Test' took centre stage in the early development of psychology, these pieces of abstract line art seek to develop this field further. These morphogenic drawings can be used to test the depth and nature of the instinctual and reactionary tendencies at work within the dynamics of the self. These drawings are different from simple ink blots though, the difference being that to those who are creative these pieces of artwork can be worked upon by the individual. By being elaborated upon, shaded in or coloured to give a more detailed, vivid and accurate graphic representation of the constructs of our own identity and self. Perhaps then we will see how exactly with all people being unique original individuals the pieces of the self can be similar enough for all human beings to be able to relate to each other and actually fit together as individuals and as a society.

Detective Joshua Frank finds himself in a very daunting case. Widower of a wife that was raped and murdered, he finds himself tracking a serial killer that's killing sexual predators. The killer believes that by torturing his victims until they beg forgiveness and repent for their sins, he is cleansing their souls, saving them from eternal fire. After the killer sends them on their way to judgement, he confesses to his priest, whom absorbs him of his sin. God's Prayer is a whirlwind of twist and turns, that may provoke many conversations on morality.
