„Early in December 1990, we issued an international call for submissions for a show against war in the Persian Gulf. By the time the show opened on January 15th, 1991, we had received 150 submissions from 25 countries. Opening on the eve of the war, the show was reviewed prominently in the next day's local newspaper. At the very least, this served to counteract the blazing war headlines and served notice that some people were not going to be swayed by the jingoistic hysteria that consumed the country for the next couple of months. In cases like this, the network provides a ready mechanism for an aggressive cultural response that can be organized at short notice and mounted anywhere.” Networking: The Decentralized Assault
