1. Protest and Memory bike tour of Los Angeles-

The Journal of Aesthetics and Protest is proud to be collaborating
with RIDE-Arc and the LA Urban Rangers to present this ride.

THE MEETING PLACE FOR THIS RIDE IS AT THE SCI-ARC PARKING LOT, 9 PM -
WE RIDE BY 9:30

This past March was full of protests, events and book releases that
gave note to the role of activism, protest and social unrest- and
it's not just because the month is also an apt verb! As a close to
March's plethora of activism events and anniversaries of some of the
most significant protests of our current generation, RIDE-Arc is
presenting a ride that will relay the ever pervasive question of
protest and memory. Do we give remembrance to the issues that were
raised at a time, at a place? With Los Angeles continually re-
inventing itself, what remains of the voices that made an effort to
speak out? What exactly went down in your neighborhood?
Let's find out.

RIDE-info: The route is roughly 23-25 miles of sweet, sweet goodness
(on Good Friday, no less) with a few hills, hidden passage ways and
gems along the route. We will be visiting and remembering sites of
historic protest past. Portions of the route may tease the memories
of some of our riders who have subscribed to the rides and supported
us for these years - and for those of you new to this, you certainly
will enjoy the small discoveries you'll see along the way.

No rider left behind!

2. THE PSYCHOMEDIA CAPITAL TOUR- by XL Terrestrials at the Los
Angeles Eco Village

Here's this week's event announcement after flaking on their event
last week at Telic .

7-10pm
LA Eco Village 117 Bimini Pl, LA 90004
www.laecovillage.org

The XL Terrestrials present
"THE TRANSMIGRATION OF CINEMA"

Recently back from their eastern Europe and Balkan region research
expedition, the XL Terrestrials bring you an incredible collection of
"No
Border" cinema in combination with strategies for disengaging the "OS -
Spectacle 2.0" in times of war, hypermarkets, and virtual cul de sacs.

Possible playlist includes: [ note: This is not a fixed program, but
a Live,
interactive and cinematic therapy
session ]

Excerpts from the outer limits of Other Cinema's DVD catalogue,
Guerrilla
News Network, Atmo Films (Se), a preview from the latest Adam Curtis
series - "The Trap", Slavoj Zizek and Sophie Fienne's "Pervert's
Guide To
Cinema", and a variety of shorts and animations (mostly utilized out of
context) ranging from ResFest and Ars Electronica selections to
communiques from the global video activism and Indymedia circuit, etc.

The XL Terrestrials, a team of unlicensed psycho-media analysts and
illegitimate art practitioners from San Francisco, Berlin and beyond,
present this cinematic, theatrical and ecological examination of
movies, mass media, the internet, and You, the human species, in the
midst of an epic-scale virtual migration and/or another seductive
brainwashing episode. More info about XL Terrestrials, tours, and the
theory of Transmigration Of Cinema, Spectacle 2.0, and the Military
Entertainment Complex here: www.xlterrestrials.org
