Discovery
This website was found through The Price Of Treason where this site is credited to "Neil Czerno".
Content
Unlike the rest of the Year Zero World of Year Zero sites, Open Source Resistance is set in -15, which, since Year Zero is 2022, is this year (2007). The appearance of the site reflects this, particularly since it doesn't carry the "corrupted" appearance of the sites set in 2022/0000.
The site encourages you to submit subversive work with the suggestion that it will be published somehow. The work should follow the guidelines of anything which is intended to raise awareness of the issues which could lead to Year Zero.
At the top of the page is the number sequence "24.5.2".
At the bottom of the page is a link to subscribe to a mailing list. You can join the list by sending an email to list@opensourceresistance.net with the subject line of 'subscribe'.
If one looks closely at the London mural image, there are three areas of the mural that have been torn away. Within the underlying areas of the tears, one can see a repeating motif of the Art Is Resistance flag. The mural is also present in a photo found in the 'current' section of the official nin.com website[1].
It is unknown if Czermo had invented the AIR flag or if he had adapted it from the URLs from the future. At the bottom of the page, you can see a part of the AIR flag. Without the stripes, it looks like the letter "r," possibly standing for "resistance."
If you subscribe to the email address, you'll get the following response:
Thanks. You are now on the Open Source Resistance email list. I don’t sell, I don’t spam. If you want to get off, write back with "Unsubscribe" in the subject at any time.
Welcome. There are more of us than there are of Them. Let’s make that count for something.
If you reply to that, you'll get the same thing over again.
Submitting to the request for subversive art elicits the following emailed response:
"Thanks! I mean that. Your particular piece may rock my world or leave me cold, but the fact that you put the time and energy into making it in the first place is what matters the most. That kind of effort is the thing that allows me to hope the future will be better than I fear.
I never know exactly when I’ll have time to review submissions, but I will try to get to it soon."
Czerno And Art Is Resistance
The creator of the website, found through The Price of Treason. The Price of Treason says he was executed Feb. 4, 0000, one day after a post on Another Version of the Truth was made, talking about how the creator of Art Is Resistance was "dissapeared" by the government. Many people speculate that this Neil Czerno had also put up Art Is Resistance.
