CROSS THE BORDER

The myth of borders was always tied up with the myth of pushing them
back, overwhelming them, and moving the frontier forward. In the current
process of globalization, borders, at least those which encompass
nation-states, seem to disappear in a way -- but for flows of money,
goods, and capital, not for people. Borderlands have become a laboratory
for new control technologies, and the postmodern or post-national
borderlines become the barrings of a worldwide apartheid system.

Cross the border is an association of activists and artists working on
the fields of politics and media. For the first time the group came
together at Hybrid Workspace during documenta X, in order to promote the
'no one is illegal' campaign. These days the handbook 'no one is
illegal', edited by cross the border, is being published in ID-Verlag,
Berlin. In four weeks, from august 7 - 15, cross the border is one of
the organisers of the camp on polish-czech-german border triangle
