Late Update
Last Friday, I presented my project with the other summer fellowships, and the event had a great turn out! Along with updating my manifesto, and printing it out, I was also able (with the help of my mentor) to have stickers, matchbooks and other materials available for people to have and interact with.
We set up a table showing some of my work, along with some research materials, and notes/drafts/first editions of products and papers. We had a computer set up so viewers could respond and examine this website (a central part of the project as a whole). A veritable success, I spoke to over 30 people, and had time to have several in depth conversations as well. Below, and in the next day or two, I will post some final materials, pictures, etc.
Soon will update with a status report on the PAC book, which I am currently designing, using pictures, computer programs, written pieces, and materials from the summer.

Reaction!
If you’ve never heard the song ‘Fuel’ by Ani Difranco you might find it interesting.
Also on the topic of your manifesto… I think it needs to be written in a little bit more plain speech as opposed to a scholarly lecture. A manifesto is supposed to speak to, and inspire, the people, but I don’t think many people would find it very easy to follow your argument since it lacks a lot of solid examples and explanation – like how is a person supposed to support you without worrying that they may in some way be submitting themselves to the mentality of a large group which you say is a threat… are you not looking to unite a large amount of people to share a similar mentality as you? Does this mean you plan to be threatening?
