While we are alive, we cannot escape from masks or names. We are inseparable from our fictions--our features. We are condemned to invent a mask for ourselves and afterward to discover that the mask is our true face.
-- ?Octavio Paz, 1970. Posdata. Mexico City: Siglo XXI, p. 11

WHY IS THIS FREE (617 total words in this text) (9993 Reads) 
<font size="-1">I am Helge Jorgensen. Danish journalist. Born 1952.
I got the idea. I am the webmaster and designer. I have created MASKMAKERSWEB because
I feel a growing frustration concerning the Internet.
I want the Internet to be a global opportunity for communication - with
no money and no censorship involved.
Cyberspace should belong to every single one of us, in every corner of
this world. Otherwise it makes no sense to me
Because how can you own cyberspace? It is like the old Native American
saying that no one can own the earth we all walk upon.
But I see it turning rapidly into one huge moneymachine with access only
for those who can pay. I recent that!
I am not a maskmaker, but I have gradually become a masklover. And I love
a maskmaker. She is my wife.
For years I have watched her and her collegues fight too hard for the
chance to work like they want - passionately and peacefully.
I have watched how hard it is to get by as an artist without being acknowledged
by the" fine-art-judges" of this part of the world. I have seen
them almost give up because they don't have the power or will or money
or time or contacts to promote themselvesIt made me angry and indignant.
I know many maskmakers around the world are in exactly the same situation.
That is why I do this.
My wife and I sincerely hope you will join us, and also that people will
help us in the effort to locate and help the " hidden maskmasters"
of the world. Maybe fotograph their work for them, help them translate
their words and send it to us.
It is important for us, that maskmakers without acces to computers can
use maskmakersweb, in the sence, that their work can be shown, their minds
be spoken freely and support be given to them by acknowledgement from
masklovers and fellowmaskmakers.
We want to salute maskmakers. Please help us - but most of all yourself. Read my wife's statement here.
