Our performances included:

THE GLOBAL WARMAQUINA
This performalogue brought to light the unpopular view that the Internet and Information Technologies are the advancing armies of global capitalism in a war to promulgate an American-dominated global monoculture.  In performance and anti-panel discussion, Los Cybrids engage issues of the economic and environmental impact of IT as well as the corporate myth of the so-called "Digital Divide."

THE WEBOPTICON
This visuo-aural offline dialogo morphed issues of internet dataveillance, surveillance and panoptic vision to expose the emerging Global Information Infrastructure threatening to hijack our identities for state, corporate and military abuses.  Do you need to be connected to be affected?  Explore the cosmological shift into the networked architecture of control extended by Information Technologies as Los Cybrids performatively riff through the barrio convergence of the actual Webopticon.

DE-EDUCACION: COMPUTAS IN THE CLASSROOM
A live taping of the acclaimed Chicano, Chicana, Latino, Latina, Hispanic, Hispana Tech-TV as we ask if computers are:   a tool for learning? a part of the Master's Plan to de-educate our youth? or if the truth lies somewhere in between?  GORDO, Juana la Banana and special guest Dr. Crazy and his ROCKIN' JALAPENO CRITICONES provided an evening of serio comical performance on computers in the classroom. 

HIGH SWEAT TECH SHOP
This outdoor performance uncovered the contradictions of digital labor's divide, where assembly line workers from Santa Clara are as disposable as those in Guadalajara or Jakarta. Have tech laborers been swept up, or swept under the rug by this e-conomy? Los Cybrids probed the allegedly revolutionary digi-tech industries via large scale video projections, smarty-pants panelists, street performance, and loud-ass audio. 

EL WORLD BRAIN DISORDER
This fresh multi-media performance where Cantinflas meets Paul Virilio to confront the God-Machine of technology, explores the often hilarious dysfunctional convergence between surveillance technologies, military industrial complexes, the national police state and media extremism that is accelerating the hyper-globalization of catastrophe and inequality. Is resistance futile?  We delve into the mysteries of electromagnetic shamanism and mythopoetic techno-santería. Performed by agents of the Information Bomba, come ready to be probed. You won't want to resist!
