The Electronic Distubance Theater

I realize that the people writing these articles are very well educated and have a lot to say, but it sure makes these readings tough to understand!

I do think that if an artist is passionate about electronic art or public art they should participate as an activist. I think that if someone truly feels strongly about anything they should be an activist. I decided to look up activist through wikipedia. Wikipedia says, "In some cases, activism has nothing to do with protest or confrontation: for instance, some religious, feminist, or vegetarian/vegan activists try to persuade people to change their behavior directly, rather than persuade governments to change laws. The cooperative movement seeks to build new institutions which conform to cooperative principles, and generally does not lobby or protest politically." A true activist shouldn't PERSUADE people, I think they should voice their opinions for change.

This definition of activism:
"A person who believes in or particiaptes in direct action to make changes in government or social conditions by campaigning in public or working" (google.com)
is a much better depiction of activists...
