®™mark

®™mark is a multimedia project that began as a funding system for creative subversion and blacklisted cultural production, and has since evolved into a publicity engine and nexus wherein creative opposition to dominant commercial and informational structures is discussed and developed. The core of the ®™mark system is a database on the web (www.rtmark.com) that lists ideas, workers, and capital. Like a temp agency, matchmaker, and bank, ®™mark is a clearinghouse for ideas, information, and capital.
