From Fake Plastic Fish: “Not only do these two products [Nyquil and Prometh cough syrup with Codeine] come in plastic bottles, but they contain nasty ingredients: alcohol (which I am trying to avoid for personal reasons); artificial dyes; high fructose corn syrup; polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol (petroleum derived products also used in anti-freeze); methylparaben and propylparaben (a class of preservatives called parabens which have been linked to various health problems); saccharine sodium (linked to cancer); and sodium benzoate (also linked to cancer). Holy cow! This is not medicine; it’s toxic soup.”

Rearranging the map of global production structures. Creating the open source Mars bar. Workshop in Prato, Italy 2003
About: Small groups of 3 are formed and an object coming from the global circulation of common commodities is chosen by the group. Mars bar, Chicken McNuggets, Colgate toothpaste etc.The groups should in three days be able to establish a production unit that can facilitate a minor copy production. The production methods and organizing structure of the group should be visible during the workshop and made public afterwards.The products are sold on the open market. The surplus from the open market is collected and occasionally there will be free beer in the bonus bar.
