RTMark.com If you can't
fight 'em, join 'em, then fight 'em more effectively.
RTMark (pronounced art mark) became a corporation so
they could facilitate acts of corporate sabotage. They
spotlight the essential injustice in the corporate
entity (that it has all of the rights of the individual,
but none of the responsibilities) by using their
privilege of limited liability to veil monkeywrenchers
-- while stating that one of their ultimate aims is to
do away with the concept of limited liability. A
brilliant paradox and the most inspiring site I've ever
seen.
BlackEnvy.com The
folks at Guerrilla Media in Vancouver have made this
site for those who are "profoundly envious" of Conrad
Black, Canada's reigning media tyrant and owner of the
National Post. GM is known for its polished,
well-executed media actions, and their timely spin on
the news translates well to the web -- and they get to
push their satire to the technological limits.
KillZine.com OK, so
it's not actually finished yet. But this ambitious
project (which spun out of the Kill Zinester tour of a
while back) is a godsend for anyone interested in going
beyond photocopying -- there's tons of valuable, first
person publishing accounts. Mostly focused on the
magazine end of things, anyone who found this site's
"You should make one, too" section useful should
definitely check out this one. The extensive
plain-English glossary of printing terms alone make it
worth your while.
Adbusters.org Since
I worked on one of the first versions of this site in
'95, Adbusters has always used the web for their
own subversive purposes: from the "Click Here To Send A
Nasty JPEG To Philip Morris" actions of my day to the
far more sophisticated multimedia treats on their
current site. Still one of the few great magazines that
has a site that's more than an online marketing tool.
