<nettime> commentary on Unsubscribe text



Robert Filliou published together with George Brecht the Eternal Network
text in 1968 as a project of the La Cédille qui sourit. Since than it was
many times published, and circulated as manuscript as well. He coined many
other largely known terms such as Poetical Economy, Fete Permanente,
Création Permanente, still largely circulating. 'Snail mail goes on the
web' - that was the slogan of mail artists already in the early nineties,
and accordingly most of them migrated on the net. Maybe some mailing lists
hold discussions about irrelevant questions, but Filliou's network seems
to be eternal.
