	WEBZINE MANIFESTO WEBZINE is this millennium's most important event for the next generation of cutting-edge, dangerously independent, "punk/alternative culture" web visionaries and content-creators who are pushing the limits of radical self-expression on the Web. This unique pioneering event, spawned in the heart of the Silicon Valley Gold Rush and Internet Boom, promises to be ground-breaking and archetypal--the first of many such events around the world. All primary movers and "early adopters" are urged to attend and meet like-minded future cohorts (just the talent pool alone, gathered together under one roof, will be amazing.) The Internet is bringing about a sea change in the communications landscape, with astonishing and still-to-be-predicted worldwide possibilities awaiting visualization and development. It is precisely those possibilities that intrigue us. In the spirit of a classic brainstorming session, all presentations will be focus will be: exploration of the "future-community-building" potential of the Web for artistic and social transfiguration. The Web provides a vehicle for collating and amassing a new folklore, mythology and history for a different kind of entrepreneurial future--one which rejects the prevailing (and suffocating) ethics of "commodity/corporate/business culture." The new adventure of the future will involve worldwide web-networking as well as conscious retribalization into passionate, local cadres of special-interest movers-and-shakers. At the heart of WEBZINE is the shared desire to celebrate personal empowerment, artistic creativity and social change. WEBZINE aims to permanently alter the balance of power in the information world, rejecting the dreary limits placed on our imaginations. If a new social architecture and network can be stunningly envisioned, perhaps some of our wildest dreams can come true. V.
