News from New York: Snafu, The Influencers' collaborator and d-i-n-a's founder, announces Radars & Fences, a conference that will take place on March 6-7, 2008, hosted by New York University.

"It is the very structure of the network society," - says Snafu - "with its decentralization of tasks and constant multiplication of electronic eyes that threatens the opacity of physical and immaterial bunkers. By looking at the grey areas where control and discipline, transparency and secrecy, democracy and the state of exception overlap and collide, Radars and Fences provide a cross-disciplinary platform whereby researchers, artists, journalists, filmmakers, and activists can negotiate new and critical positions.

Trevor Paglen will give a talk about his projects, right after his appearance at The Influencers festival in Barcelona.
