Re: [microsound] who is nn? who is cb?

[scissors for sparrow <transmit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

as a matter of trivia, the phrase from below -- "a critic of capitalism and 
fascism, as well as a capitalist and a marketer" -- used to describe 
netochka nezvanova is strikingly similar to the following, taken from 
http://members.chello.se/mitek/mitek6cd.html, referring to claudia bonarelli:

"Claudia Bonarelli is an artist, car thief and a cultural terrorist.a 
critic of capitalism and fascism, as well as a capitalist
and a marketer."

curiously, this page continues as follows:

"But who is Claudia, really? No one knows for sure, Is she one person with 
multiple identities? A female Italian artist, a male Swedish musician or an 
Eastern European collective conspiracy?"

i wonder about two things.  who plagiarised whom?  and... is it suddenly 
trendy to create ambiguous and secretive identities which could in fact be 
commandeered by subversive artistic collectives?  the problem with such 
ambiguity is that when it's played up, it relies on people actually caring 
in order to remain purposeful.
