SIMON CRAB

Simon Crab studied Fine Art at Slade College under Stuart Brisley and Paula Rego during the early eighties. At the Slade, Simon began working with embryonic computer and video graphics systems and has been working with digital media ever since. from 1983-1990 he traveled the world exhibiting and performing experimental electronic music and video. In 1990 Simon set up a digital arm of the print multinational 'Wace' specialising in 'Multimedia': CD ROM design and production and In-store EPOS systems (later renamed 'Seven Interactive') for clients such as Lego, British Airways and The Body Shop.

Disillusioned with corporate life, Crab left Wace in 1993 and joined the proto-internet pioneering collective 'Obsolete' as a designer and programmer. When Obsolete self imploded in 1996, Simon went on to co-found 'Lateral' with other ex Obsolete crew members Jon Bains and David Jones.

Simon is currently the Creative Director of Lateral and oversees the creative and technical output as well as day to day general management of the company. Simon's other interests include electronic music, audio programming and ethnomusicology - he plays penyacha for lila-cita gamelan gong kebyar orchestra. Simon is also a trustee of 'Space Studios', a London based community arts organisation and Founder and Director of 'Informal', a research and implementation group for collaborative research with a focus on social development and technology.

Bourbonese Qualk are an Experimental Music group which existed from 1980 to 2003.Bourbonese Qualk's credentials as early and important contributors to the Industrial scene is born out by their presence on the seminal Elephant Table compilation from 1983. Up until 1987, they were essentially a collaborative effort of two individuals: Simon Crab and Steven Tanza. In 1987, Crab and Tanza went their separate ways. Tanza's project since then has been called The State. Crab maintained the Bourbonese Qualk name. Crab, who had for years played virtually all instruments/electronics beyond percussion, left guitar work to Miles Miles and focused more and more on a large electronic sound, still recognizably funk-beat driven as was much of their earlier music.

With Miles Miles' death in 2002, the members disbanded.

In a society which glorifies their power and our passivity, all thought which challenges this passivity is thoughtcrime. Crimethink is the transgression without which freedom and self-determination are impossible—it is the skeleton key that unlocks the prisons of our age.

CrimethInc. is the black market where we trade in this precious contraband. Here, the secret worlds of shoplifters, rioters, dropouts, deserters, adulterers, vandals, daydreamers—that is to say, of all of us, in those moments when, wanting more, we indulge in little revolts—converge to form gateways to new worlds where theft, cheating, warfare, boredom, and so on are simply obsolete.

GX Jupitter-Larsen (sometimes erroneously spelled Juppiter-Larsen) is an artist, based in Hollywood, California, who has been active in a number of underground art scenes since the late 1970s.

He has been involved in punk rock, mail art, cassette culture, the noise music scene, and zine culture. During the 1990s he was the sound designer for the performances of Mark Pauline's Survival Research Laboratories. His best known work is as the founder of the noise act The Haters, who have performed all over the world, and appear on over 300 CD & record releases.

Underlying all of Jupitter-Larsen's work is a peculiar mix of aesthetic and conceptual obsessions, particularly entropy and decay, professional wrestling, and a self-created lexicon consisting mainly of personalized units of measurement such as polywave, the totimorphous, and the xylowave.

Kenji Siratori: a Japanese cyberpunk writer who is currently bombarding the internet with wave upon wave of highly experimental, uncompromising, progressive, intense prose. His is a writing style that not only breaks with tradition, it severs all cords, and can only really be compared to the kind of experimental writing techniques employed by the Surrealists, William Burroughs and Antonin Artaud. Embracing the image mayhem of the digital age, his relentless prose is nonsensical and extreme, avant-garde and confused, with precedence given to twisted imagery, pace and experimentation over linear narrative and character development. With unparalleled stylistic terrorism, he unleashes his literary attack. An unprovoked assault on the senses. Blood Electric (Creation Books) was acclaimed by David Bowie.

Corrupt, Inc. is a civilization watchdog built on the premise that when humans form a mental image of the world that does not correspond to reality, they become corrupt and destroy themselves. Our goal is to look for this cognitive dissonance and to point it out with research, intelligence reports, pranks and political activism. We believe in a better human future by embracing reality and not silly bureaucratic, academic or emotional abstractions. Our goal is to point human civilization away from these irrelevancies and get us back on track toward dealing with our actual problems, which receive 68.6% less media coverage than transient or tangential issues.
