All of the information gather was taken from his own site http://www.eavigo.com.ar/ and a TAM-interview conducted by Rudd Jansen via mail spanning 2 years until Vigo’s death http://jas.faximum.com/library/tam/tam_vigo.htm in 1997.

Hey folks,

Yesterday was not my day and I went to bed and woke up still feeling awful, so I’m gonna take myself out for waffles and hope that sugar, carbs, and orange juice make me feel better.

I’m throwing a couples of videos up with my mail art materials onto my YouTube page for now, but will probably move it somewhere else once/update it later.  You’ll be able to find it at youtube.com/user/merazview.

Here is my assignment:

Tea parties, dress up, and backyard adventures. If you were a kid once, you probably had some sort of game you played that you’ve left behind.  No wonder being an adult can get so boring!  Your assignment is to play a game or do some other fun activity that you haven’t done since before you hit the double digits.  Take pictures, record a video, or journal about it in crayons and Magic Markers and post your evidence here, but just stop being so serious and do it.  Have fun!

Take care,
Darín

Washington, DC — The world reels today as an international group of leading media corporations goes through a complete overhaul.  This unprecedented honesty and open communication with the public is beginning, many think, a new era of media communications.  The companies involved, partially headed by the New York Times,  have worked with the governments of several leading nations as well as leading business corporations to reach an agreement regarding what they are calling an “Era of Honesty”.

“This change has been waiting to happen for a very long time,” says New York Times spokeswoman Patricia Johnson.  ”There’s no point in lying to people anymore; the truth is too easily available.”  She has a very good point: with the increasing usage and power of the internet, it is becoming harder for governments and corporations to cover their tracks.

This new approach to media presentation does not, however, represent a change in governmental or corporate policy.  Harold Bilmour, CEO of ___, put the state of the media very plainly.  ”For years the government and its leading supporting corporate giants have tried to hide their true nature, to present a good face to the public; we’re not going to bother doing that anymore.”  In a related press release, he adds, “We’ve been trying to appease the public by tailoring a positive media image.  The truth is, however, that all the companies and governments involved are so powerful that we don’t need the public’s approval anymore.”

Many have applauded this new direction, specifically regarding funding.  All the funds (oftentimes, directly rerouted tax dollars) that previously went towards corrupting the media to create a public-pleasing image will now be going towards globalization efforts and corporate expansion.  ”There will be individuals who won’t be happy with what they see,” discloses a high-up U.S. official who wishes to remain anonymous.  ”That’s what happens when you do away with secrecy; all the skeletons come flying out of the closet.  But we’re confident that no one will have the power to question us.  What we’re aiming for is a completely unified nation.”

This is an encouraging show of confidence on the part of the governments and companies involved.  In a society where corporate money equals governmental power, the ability of an individual to affect change is increasingly diminished; this motion signifies the annihilation of whatever power the people had left.  ”When the people have too much power, things just get messed up,” said Mr. Bilmour.  ”The people don’t have that power anymore, and no longer need to be appeased.”  This leaves the government and its supporting companies free to act as they please, without the previous restrictive need to please the crowds.

“Let’s be honest here: the public hasn’t had the power to affect change for years,” said the unnamed U.S. official.  ”We’re finally letting go of the facade.  We’re hoping that, in time, the citizens of participating countries will welcome this Era of Honesty.”
