CSPA Quarterly published by the Center for Sustainable Practice in the Arts
In this issue, we’re working against the stereotypes of the form, and attempting to broaden its term. As always, we’re exploring our chosen theme across disciplines and were delighted to include sculpture, visual art, theater, public art, and media art in the following pages. Instead of asking for work based on waste materials, we asked for work built from objects that already exist.

Ricardo Dominguez addressing his supporters at UC San Diego Library Walk, on April 8, 2010
On March 4, 2010, Ricardo Dominguez and other members of Bang Lab participated in the student protests which took place across University of California campuses. The protests were organized to express students’ and faculty’s disagreement with the ongoing fee hikes, budget cuts, and the apparent privatization of the UC system. Dominguez and his collaborators organized a virtual sit-in on the Office of the President website, which was interpreted by school officials as a “Denial of service attack.”

The following letter is from the UCSD Faculty Coalition to Senior Vice-Chancellor Acadamic Affairs Paul Drake, to which you can refer for details. I will summarize some key information from the letter in bullets, with contextual information noted:
* As the letter makes clear, professor Dominguez is being charged based on his celebrated artistic practice.
* The charges stem from a Virtual Sit-in against www.ucop.edu on March 4th, a day of protest against fee increases at the University of California.
* Dominguez’s tenure at UCSD is threatened, and the administration (Drake’s office) has threatened criminal charges based on a prima facie misrepresentation that the Virtual Sit-in was a botnet. (The former being legal, the latter being criminal.)
* The nature of Dominguez’s art practice is known to Drake’s office. In fact, the AVCSS received and approved a promotion file in 2009 that describes the nature of the research. Dominguez was granted tenure based on that file.
* Dominguez has held virtual Sit-ins against UCOP in the past, with no repercussions. This is highly indicative that the current actions against Dominguez are not motivated by the Virtual Sit-in, but possibly by other research being carried out by Dominguez and his colleagues. Note: I work with Ricardo on the Transborder Immigrant Tool Project – which is in fact one project supported by the UCSD supported walkingtools.net project. The research team also includes Amy Carrol and Micha Cardenas.
* After a spate of recent hate-crimes on campus, including the hanging of a noose in the Geisel Library at UCSD, no criminal charges were brought.
* The B.A.N.G. lab website was temporarily shut down on March 4th for exercising free speech, yet the Koala (a publication and website at UCSD with a history of racist provocations) is deemed by Chancellor Fox to be protected free speech.
Just to add a little more information for the concerned public, a UCSD auditors’ investigation of the Transborder Immigrant Tool project began well before the March 4th events, triggered by a complaint that remains confidential. Since that time, we have been informed by the auditors that the investigation has been expanded due to a letter from US Congress members Duncan Hunter, Brian Bilbray, and Darrell Issa. The possibility that the persecution of professor Dominguez is related to TBT or other research is therefore highly plausible.
I also want to make it very clear, I was involved in the March 4th virtual sit-in as a participant. Yet no administrative charges have been brought forth against me, and I have not been visited by detectives.
