> even though the use of mobile phones for still photography is gaining

> qualities of cell phone video, and how do the stories and images from
> this technological set differ from its predecessors? does the intimacy
> and mobility of the video-enabled cell phone create a change in
> perspective? does it represent a culture of universal surveillance
> where there is a universal intimacy but a complete lack of private
> space? how does the mobile perspective shift our perception in the way
> the mediated image of the cellular/network individual is represented?
> does its low-resolution somehow challenge the aesthetics,
> 'truthfulness', or technofetishism of the increasingly filmic nature
> of video? these are some of the questions that normative bebilderung
> hopes to address. we, artists, performers, tribes from the normative
> bebilderung, we have been undergoing police repressions, abusive laws,
> the pressures of cultural industries and capitalist economy for a long
> time. to denounce these intolerable pressures, we declare the internet
> television will be, so that everybody will demonstrate his know-how
> and creativity in the dark, an international underground! let 10.000
> clips joyfully illuminate and fertilize the cultural aridity! the idea
> of internet television is metaphoric: even if celebrate, create, have
> amateur cultural practices, emerge among indifference, market, and
> daily repression are a fight, we demand a pacific action! internet
> television is a pacific action, but it remains a fight! internet
> televisionists are working towards another end. this other end is
> militant: it is a question of producing an utopia. u-topia = lack of
> proper place. for us in a prospect of action, it means being
> everywhere at the same time. it also means: being numerous but no
> masses! Iit further means cultural diversity! meeting the others!
> refusing identity withdraws of all kinds, as people can have lots of
> piercings and be really set in their ways, egoist, monomaniac or
> limited. here is the fight: not a fight for sound, free, punk, classic
> or else! but for all that in once and to keep the possibility of doing
> that. for the emergence of diversity! for diversity against compact
> masses! for the right to create, to meet freely each others, to
> imagine our future off the pre-formatted frames proposed by the
> market, the security ideologies and the ready-to-think of some
> activists. to prove that we are organized, thoughtful, responsible and
> that we are fully aware of our acts as well during our cultural events
> as every day. to demonstrate that we represent an important part of
> the population, that we can be your neighbours, your friends, your
> family.
