Second Front are asked to reinvent the wheel for the Innovation Festival in Milan, Italy, but what you don't know is that so many ideas got thrown out in themeantime. ; The printing press came 30,000 years too late.
We performed Summer of Love at the MCA in Chicago in 2009 as part of an e-Happening, to celebrate the 40 year anniversary of the Summer of Love.
This was a performance on 9/11 for the Gogbot Media Art Festival in Amsterdam. This edition's theme was ATOMPUNK, deriving from 50's atomic and sci-fi culture. In this performance, Second Front appeared as an alien invasion to "help" humanity see the error of their ways for embracing the Atom by showing them the horrors that result from using this technology!
As Part of Patrick Lichty's "Summer of Love 2.0"at the Chiocago Museum of Contemporary Art.

In Second Life, Lynden Labs owns huge amounts of land, makes their own laws and mints their own currency. They are, in effect, a nation-state. On April 14th, 2008, Second Front raided the Lynden Treasury. We plotted, we attacked and we freed the Lynden Dollars. Presented as a live performance at a panel discussion hosted at the San Francisco Art Institute, we impersonated the panelists to disguise our true identities in this historic raid.
