Dear Jean-Noël specificly and comrade Rob and Patrice... and the list!

yeah, so let's talk about radical.... if MORE LESS, which meant for an
observation of a state we are in, but not an action/attitude/stance we
are promoting.

You want "a call for radical events, projects, radical thinking, radical
transformaking, ruptures."

COVID-19 is radical, have all the scenarios for ruptures!

tell me how to act DEEP? tell our community how to come together and dig
deeper?

tell me from Deep Europe to Deep Split, how we advance ourselevs? as a
Brico community?

Dont let me rub the leftist wet dream of radical-ISM.

STWST (Stadtwerkstatt, http://stwst.at) celebrated its 40 years of
existence as a free/open space... we take the association with ARS, we
and ARS are voisine... we try to be friendly. we have our own
independent operation, living off the fringe, hoping when ARS bring in
the media elites, we can ask some swing by... for 6 years, we organize
48 hours during ARS, we got to hijack, i.e. jeromil, when he was invited
by ARS to come smoothe with us a bit at our lab....ARS takes it's own
course, the rich get richer. I have not need to go shut it down. i can
only divert, infiltrate, nothing worthy of radical these days.

jargons, jargons, we are left to 'eleborate' on jargons. global, local,
decentralized... oh, dare me!!

did u bother to check the web links?
