The first event took place in
LA on November 10, 2000 as part of LA
Freewaves Festival, and was hosted by Natalie
Bookchin and Ming-Yuen
S. Ma. Invited guests included Mervin Jarman (Jamaica), creator of
the Container Project and member of the UK collective Mongrel,
Cornelia Solfrank (Germany) from Old Boys Network, Ricardo
Dominguez (USA) from Electronic Disturbance Theater and representatives
of the Bordergames collaboration, including La
Fiambrera (Spain)and Bitfiddlers.org (USA).The groups presented their
work and participated in an open discussion of tactics.
Following the live presentations
there was a screening of two videos, "Octember Revolution" by Kevin Moore
(LA), documenting a Southern California gated community intervention and
"Sheik Attack" by Eddo Stern (LA), "a non/fiction horror video woven
from pop nostalgia, computer war games, the sweat of virtual commandos,
the blood of Sheiks and a mis-remembrance of a long lost Zionist Utopia".
