In response to the presence of President George W. Bush in Mar
del Plata for the IV Summit of the Americas, Argentinean artists'
collective Colectivo Etcétera organized an "invasion"
of the downtown area of the city of Buenos Aires. The artists performed
as "errorists" driving commando trucks, moving in groups,
wearing keffiyeh head scarves, and carrying cardboard machine guns
with the word "BANG" coming out of them. The idea behind
the performance was to reproduce the media "constructed enemy" reflecting back to the media, thus creating an ubiquitous nightmare
for Bush's gaze.
Here you can find the International Errorist First Declaration
and pictures from the action.
International Errorists
First Declaration:
october
2005
"we are all errorists"
"errare humanum est"
1. "Errorism"
Concept and action are based on the idea that "error"
is reality's principle of order.
2. "Errorism"
is a philosophically erroneous position, a ritual of negation, a
disorganised organisation: failure as perfection, error as appropriate
move.
3. The field of action of "Errorism"
contains all those practices that aim at the LIBERATION of the human
being and language.
4. Confusion and surprise, black humour and absurdity are
the favourite tools of the "errorists".
5. "Lapses" and failed acts are an "errorist"
delight.
(extracts from the international errorists' manifesto)
Errorism and Politics:
For "Errorism" POLITICS is LIFE
Errorism is Re-EVOLUTIONARY, the practices r-evolutionize
the search for autonomy and social self-sufficiency.
Capitalism is the most insidious error that has been successfully
dissimulated
Errorism and Sexuality
In errorist lust eroticism is the key to the game of the love
We read what we must not. We touch what we cannot
Errorist LOVE is LOVE FREE of error
The errorists-we-claim masturbation as a possibility for autonomy
and self-knowledge
Errorism and Language
Let's look at a clear example for the effect of applying errorism
in an everyday life situation: someone writes using a PC and any
text-editing program. These programs are designed to avoid "errors"
by means of "proofreaders": if the word, the concept or
the idea is not recognised, an alternative is immediately suggested.
The suggestion indicates that we are committing an Error.
Take the example of the word "ERRORISM": the program does
not recognise this word and suggests two other options ("terrorism",
"eroticism").
This is an "errorist" example, since what we wanted to
say was "errorism" or "errorist", but apparently
it is an error since "errorism" does not exist.
But having assumed errorism as the existence of error as the base
of everything, we discover that communication must be errorist.
We therefore claim the metaphor as the favourite and most refined
weapon for errorists.
errorist & (t)errorist
The new figure of "terrorism" is used to justify war,
genocide and repression against the people. Terrorism is a concept;
it creates an image which gives visibility to the offence of being
"suspected of everything", and uniformly criminalizes
non-western societies, the opponents of a regime, the poor, the
others, foreigners in a generalising way.
In the so-called "Global War Against Terrorism" everything
is allowed: devastating homes, despising religious worship, torturing
and humiliating the "enemy".
Assassinating somebody for "the appearance of their face":
shoot first, then see who it is, in order to create an image later.
The Terror disseminated by mass media makes us part of the strategy
of Global War. From week to week the mass media identify a new territory
of war, a new potentially "dangerous" subject; whether
it be the attacks that are carried out, the fear of those, or possible
threats, we see ourselves confined to living in a world in a state
of alert and paranoia.
An example of the errors we are opposed to is the recent case of
the murder of an alleged "terrorist" by "error"
in the London underground. "It was an error", said the
policemen who assassinated the young Brazilian, to justify the death.
A mix-up?
Then ... anyone can be a terrorist?
WE ARE ALL ERRORISTS!
An errorist action during the campaign against the presence of George
Bush at the "Summit of the Americas" in the city of Mar
del Plata, Argentina. The invasion took place on Friday, the 14th
at the obelisk in Buenos Aires. Errorist cells and commando units
appeared in the streets of the city, reading a communiqué
and carrying out propaganda activities.
