SonarMatica : the 1st Universal Micronations Exhibition
http://www.sonar.es/2004/eng/sonarmatica.cfm

This year SonarMatica will focus on one of today’s most interesting cultural phenomena: micronations.

Micronations -invented nations, visual territories, fantasy realms created by private individuals and collectives since the early seventies of the last century- have experienced widespread growth with the advent of the internet. Digital embassies and consulates, debate forums, inter-micronational organisations, cyber communities and diplomatic relations are all proliferating on the web.

Evrugo Mental State by the Barcelona therapeutic artist Evru, The Kingdoms of Elgaland-Vargaland by the Germans Carl Michael Von Hauuswolff and Leif Elggren, the State of Sabotage-SoS by the creative Viennese label Sabotage Communications and the NSK-State by the Slovenian industrial music collective Laibach are among the micronations taking part in the showcase.
