[edit] Level of agressivity

The recent edit by an anonymous user is giving a bit too much importance to the "NN controversy", imho. His version:

"Therefore, despite (or thanks to) the controversies raised by the ultra-aggressive self representation of the authors (aka "korporat warfare") and the mechanisms of arbitrariness and control that the users were subjected to, it gained popularity among video artists and performers, which were using it for a large variety of purposes, prominently for live performance and interactive installation."

my comments:

• "despite (or thanks to)": i think it's clear that the provocative style also helped to promote the software, proof is that many of the notable users were "imitating" the nato style... so i'd keep "(or thanks to)" in this sentence (at least, the "positive" impact of their PR should be mentioned in some way).
• "ultra-aggressive" - sounds a bit too emotional/un-encyclopedic, i think "aggressive" will do it (after all nobody was killed or injuried)
  
• "the mechanisms of arbitrariness and control that the users were subjected to" - i guess this refers to the fact that licenses of some users were "revoked"? well, it was really more a joke than anything else, since the software was still working (but of course for people psychologically dependent on NN, it was certainly traumatizing...) - i will leave this sentence for now but i think it should be supported by some factual evidence...

[edit] Citations

Since I added footnotes and citations to the article, i'm removing the "citations missing" tag that was applied in April 2007. bzzp 15:34, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Can anybody identify from which Nato workshop is this video? The instructor is Johnny Dekam, and the server says the file is from December 2000 ... so it could be the workshop at V2_Lab Rotterdam. Any witnesses around? --Irina666 (talk) 21:26, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
