STRANGER THAN FICTION?
critical art ensemble needs your help. from the Interactivist Info Exchange:
Critical Art Ensemble (CAE) collective member Steve Kurtz was already suffering from one tragedy when he called 911 early in the morning to tell them his wife had suffered a cardiac arrest and died in her sleep. The police arrived and, cranked up on the rhetoric of the “War on Terror,” decided Kurtz’s art supplies were actually bioterrorism weapons.
Thus began an Orwellian stream of events in which FBI agents abducted Kurtz without charges, sealed off his entire block, and confiscated his computers, manuscripts, art supplies… and even his wife’s body.
