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.
