First edition of the Camel Collective (c_m_l) newsletter includes sound installation by Sara Heitlinger and Franc Purg whose Privileged Tactics II is an fD affiliated project
http://c-m-l.org/
The Camel Collective began as a loose affiliation of artists, architects, and writers in the Spring of 2005. The U.S. invasion of Iraq, the dominant media’s tacit support for an illegitimate administration, and the hysterical real estate speculation in New York City motivated us to consider how we might orient our individual practices towards collective organization. Our belief in the productive force of collectivity and exchange across disciplines, along with the necessity to address social, political and economic issues as artists is what motivates our activities.
C-M-L is an ongoing online project of Camel Collective. We invite similarly engaged artists to submit works and documents to build an archive available online and distributed in the form of a newsletter. This newsletter includes two main sections—a growing archive of projects selected by the editors, and a bimonthly guest curatorial examination thereof. C-M-L also extends an open invitation for project submissions. Please write us at mail@c-m-l.org.
We intend C-M-L to be a forum that circulates projects—produced for other spaces and translated into web-based documentation—among artists, curators, political organizers, and whoever else might happen by. We enjoy works that refuse the division between the aesthetic and the political, and insist that just as any political practice has an aesthetic dimension, any aesthetic practice has political consequences.
Subscription is free.
We extend our warm regards.
Sincerely,
Anthony Graves

What is it that moves us? - Sara Heitlinger and Franc Purg, 2008
Sound installation, 10 minutes, looping, London, 2008
What is it that moves us? uses repetition and symmetry to create a sense of uncanny.
Today the Olympic site is made practically inaccessible to the London public by a blue wall. At strategic points, the hoardings show images of the projected site in 2012: a beautiful village with happy families, athletes, and plenty of nature. But each day the wall is painted the exacted same shade of blue in order to remove any graffiti that challenges this ideal. What do the authorities fear? Is it an accident that these images use the visual language of totalitarian propaganda? Throughout history, the base for totalitarian systems is fear.
This project explores the fears of our society.
