Activism for the Mind: Reclaiming Our Cerebral Commons
12/03/2005
Is modern life polluting your brain? The editor of Adbusters: The Journal of the Mental Environment, Kalle Lasn, thinks so. And he's spearheading a mental ecology movement to do something about it. A well-known media activist, trouble maker, and culture jammer, Lasn wants us to reclaim our cerebral commons, and rehabilitate our mental environment. As rates of depression and other psychological ailments escalate worldwide, do we need more than self-reflection to work out what's going on? This is meme warfare with a touch of mad pride, so turn off your TV and tune in - you risk losing your head if you don't.
