"... I've certainly seen the failure of street protests against the Iraq war 
in the past five years in the U.S. Marches and protests were not being 
covered in the mass media, so people lost interest in coming out. The last 
protest I went to in about 2007 was dismal and pathetic. I made a work 
subsequently called AntiWar404 that features hundreds of abstracts lifted 
from pro-peace and anti-war websites that have disappeared in the past five 
years.What I've learned from following the online aspects of the anti-war 
movement is that there are moments when people will move out of their 
ideological comfort zone to endorse resistance, and when that moment passes, 
it's much more difficult to build a movement. Unfortunately at present it 
seems that this arc of enthusiasm is governed largely by the corporate mass 
media coverage of current events. But to the extent that social media, 
independent media and other cooperative initiatives can be used to catalyze 
social actions, there is some potential to bypass the futility of the 
spectacular idiocy that prevails today"...

Andy Deck, from "Andy Deck and the Net art: the licence to be an artist" by 
Marco Mancuso
