THE DICTATOR’S PRACTICAL INTERNET GUIDE TO POWER RETENTION by Laurier Rochon [CA]
It’s everybody’s dream to rule a repressive state, but how can this be done in the digital era? This presentation focuses on all the best tips and tricks for keeping control of your population using the Internet. It’s an easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide highlighting all the best practices of what dictators should do in difficult situations. It will accompany you in the obliteration of political dissidence. By having everyone agree with you, or having people believe that everyone else agrees with you, your stay at the top will be long and prosperous. Hard copies of the guide will be available too.
Radio undesignated by Danny van der Kleij [NL]
An internet-based radio station where the secluded utopian nature of the radio broadcast is seen through the medium of audible codes. At certain intervals, the radio station will broadcast several methods of audible coding during a sound-collage radio show. At other times, it may broadcast only a single code, the remnants of a live show, or music that contains a hidden or encrypted message.
