Interzone report of September 2005

For the new comers: The reports of Interzone contain the monthly activities of the members of the group in different domains. As we are about 400 people in the world, all different, the whole might appear at first sight as an incongruous medley. For more information on the subjects developed here, please refer to the previous reports since 1997 in the page Information on Interzone

“Window onto devotion of the banian"

Hi all,

Many pages on visual arts in this report.

New email i.aubert@interpc.fr :

Due to the number of spasm coming from false identities of baudron (see the pages of the month “Virus and spams senders : "Pas vu pas pris, pris pendu !" (suite) : http://www.interpc.fr/mapage/westernlands/virussenders19.html , http://www.interpc.fr/mapage/westernlands/virussenders20.html), the mails I send with baudron@interpc.fr often are identified to spams and are rejected. So I have taken a new email you can use intead : i.aubert@interpc.fr .

Alternatives ways of life:

Ecobuilding :

Following the info of last month, another site on the subject : http://archilibre.org/ .

Question of a Zone place again :

Following requests from some Zoners who, for different reasons, are looking for coming to France, or looking for a place to live, the question of a place for the Zone is actual again. I am ok to keep on in this direction, using the teachings of the previous attempts, but do not want to take it in charge alone.

As far as a place is concerned, it is possible that people rent a flat together near my place which presently has a professional part, and can be adapted to different aims as the ones we had foreseen previously. This does not require any investment in money and can be stopped in case people who are involved want to leave. It also can be accessible to Zoners out of Europe, during the time of a visa or holidays. The area is pleasant, not far from the seaside, the Futuroscope and big cities as Poitiers or Angers.

One clarification : the aim is not to make a kind of “Emmaus” inside the Zone, but to get a place allowing the participants to use their respective knowledges and potential in the frame of an academy, in a financially self sufficient frame. For the details, then they depends on the people involved in the adventure.

Those who are interested can write to i.aubert@interpc.fr .

Interzone comix :

This month, I received comix from France and US , and lacking space to put them on line, I made a site to host Interzone comix : http://www.geocities.com/interzonebd/ Actually, this is the first site to propose comix in integral versions on line.

Elric Dufau draws comics from scenarii by François Darnaudet, the author of the Taxidermist : see

Lewis Tandem est un vieil ami qui a mal fini http://www.geocities.com/interzonebd/lewistandem1.html (Lewis Tandem is an old friend whose end was sad) and Nervous breakdown http://www.geocities.com/interzonebd/breakdown1.html. Elric is going to translate it in English.

Edwin Johnston in Houston sent me two publications he made in some copies, “Flash” and “Comix”. Some of the pages can be found at http://www.geocities.com/interzonebd/flash1.html http://www.geocities.com/interzonebd/flash2.html, http://www.geocities.com/interzonebd/flash3.html, http://www.geocities.com/interzonebd/comix1.html, and http://www.geocities.com/interzonebd/comix2.html.

Edwin has been through Rita recently, stayed in his house and things are not so bad from his side.

The comics previously published (“Le Taxidermiste” in French and English, “Stella Matutina”) , are in the menu of the site.

Dogman by John Dowie :

Synchronisticly enough John Dowie, a friend met in the seventies in London who is presently biking around Europe, came to visit. John is a British comedian, poet and writer. For Interzone record, he has been performing with Lisa Lovebucket, which also is in the Zone since a long time. His CD “Dogman”, a musical comedy for children, is coming out this month www.laughingstock.co.uk .

Vasha’s paintings : erratum :

The paintings and drawings which I had put on line recently are not Vasha’s ones, but the ones of ASHI23, who is a member of the group SALA as well, so the CD contains works of the whole group, which I had not realized.
