Grant Morrison working on book with Disinfo founder
thor
According to today's Disinfo e-newsletter, Invisibles author Grant
Morrison is working on a book with Disinfo founder Richard Metzger.
This should be interesting, since Morrison has talked about Invisibles
as a "hypersigil" and Metzger has described Disinfo as a sigil. I
wonder if this is in place of the no-longer spoken of collaboration
between Morrison, Douglas Rushkoff, and Genesis P. Orridge.

Its out on DVD in the UK, but it never (or did it?) get aired in the US and
sci-fi later gave up on more episodes because it wasn't "middle america"
friendly or something to that effect.

BUZZ BOOKS
By Susan Carpenter
All the news you never hear
It was billed as a book reading, but the event in support of Richard Metzger's
"Disinformation: The Interviews" was more of a video screening for his
soon-to-be-released DVD.
The young and dapper L.A. resident has been running a sort of cottage industry
for subcultural exploration since 1996, when he founded his Disinformation Web
site (www.disinfo.org) to expose "the kind of stuff that never seems to slip
through the cracks of the corporate-owned media."
At that, he has not only succeeded but also excelled, parlaying the success of
his site into books and a television show he hosted in England. "The punk-rock
'60 Minutes,' " as he calls it, will soon be available on DVD, segments of
which he screened before a packed house at the Book Soup Annex in West
Hollywood.
Among them were profiles of a Woodland Hills woman who claims she was a "CIA
sex slave," and a man who allows his nephew to not only light him on fire,
spray-paint his face and perform other "Jackass"-type activities but also film
them.
Incredibly well produced and presented in a straightforward manner, the
segments come across like mockumentaries, although Metzger says the people are
real and the interviews are unscripted. The results are bust-a-gut funny, as
the capacity crowd's reaction proved. Hardly a moment passed that someone
wasn't laughing at the absurd statements and actions on screen.

I have seen (most) of the disinfo series when it was on channel 4 in the uk.
The Grant Morrison programme was particularly good and I kept it on video.
It featured clips of him at the disinfo conference. His lecture included
him telling people about the power of sigils and how they should do their
own. coming pretty much from the chaos magick camp. In fact Mr Morrison
wrote the introduction to one of Phil Hine's books.
Magick as a way of hacking the human bio-computer.
