Manifesto

&Co. is an open context, no concept of art or capital, no part of the musical-industrial complex, no commercial adventure, but a communicative way of working, an island of social cooperation in productive networks.

&Co.-productions is an ANTIDOT.COM, a free association of autonomous producers drifting through the system in conflict with the ruling production- & communication-regime, searching for collaborative ways of working & collective structures for the new class of immaterial & intellectual workers, the copy-code FOR ALL! Because if there is a re-configuration of class-struggle, then the dividing line is not between productive and parasitic, but within the Great Production itself: labour has become diffuse, the factory is a gas, the air we breathe. DOT DOT DOT COMMUNISM … a “communism of capital”: Communication & production merge in the command: “Be subjects!”

But the virtual community also is the matrix for a new association of free producers – from corporate culture to the culture of COOP – a collaborative work-in-progress. The &Co.-Laboratory produces productions, “production of productions”. We are like an ocean, a never ending longing and grasping, a flood, a stream. But “this stream broken loose by catastrophe is ours!” (Brecht) BE A MILLION uncontrollable Connexxxions. And no end in sight. And now: music!
