THE
FOUNDATION FOR ART IN ZERO-G
Treaty for the Use of Space by Nomadic Individuals
(04.99)
Essay in "Space Travel By Any Means
Necessary - The Fourth Annual Report of
the AAA"
To
the Governments of the member States of
the Joint Space Treaty Agreement:
The 1967 "Treaty on Principles Governing
the Activities of States in the Exploration
and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon
and Other Celestial Bodies" was signed
by you on behalf of over fifty member nation
States worldwide. Your Treaty states that
"outer space shall be free for exploration
and use by all States without discrimination
of any kind and there shall be free access
to all areas of celestial bodies".
Whilst declaring space to be "free"
for use by your member states, your Treaty
also however dictates that "the activities
of non-Governmental entities in outer space
shall require authorization and continuing
supervision by the appropriate State Party".
On this, your Earth date of 18th May 1998
C.E., the Nomad Association of Autonomous
Astronuats (Nomad AAA) hereby state that,
as a community of nomadic space persons
existing without recourse to your notions
of space or time, it will not recognise
the aforementioned 1967 Treaty or, indeed,
any successive decree. Whilst accepting
that outer space is indeed "free for
exploration", the Nomad AAA hereby
wish it to be known that it will continue
its planned Autonomous Space Programme without
recourse to any of the member States' "authorization"
or "supervision".
Furthermore, with respect to your international
law and to the Charter of the United Nations,
the Nomad AAA hereby declares its own Treaty
governing space exploration (published herein)
which can be adopted / plagiarised / stolen
in its entirety by any free-thinking, self-declared
Nomadic individual, terrestrial or otherwise.
TREATY ON USE OF OUTER SPACE, INCLUDING
THE MOON AND OTHER CELESTIAL BODIES, BY
NOMADIC INDIVIDUALS.
Article One: The exploration of space shall
be carried out for the benefit of all peoples,
individuals and species of the cosmos, irrespective
of their location in space and time. This
treaty does not recognise any notion of
country or state and, further, seeks to
abolish such notions as an intrinsic part
of this agreement.
Article Two: Outer space shall be used by
nomadic individuals exclusively for the
pursuit of enlightenment through the auspices
of art and entertainment. Any individual
who clings to the notion of work, wage reimbursement
or seeks solitude in any form of employment
practice shall be made to endure a rigorous
re-imprinting detoxification programme known
as "The Chill Out".
Article Three: Any autonmous individual
launching their own craft, building their
own orbital station or squatting on any
clestial body shall be free to enjoy themselves
for an infinite duration under the proviso
that any other autonomous individual wishing
to collude in their enjoyment shall bring
some good quality gear to be shared by the
group.
Article Twenty-Three: Do what thou wilt
shall be the rest of the law.
THE NOMAD AAA, IN WITNESS OF THEMSELVES,
DULY SIGN THIS TREATY ON BEHALF OF THEMSELVES
AS PER YOUR EARTH CALENDAR DATE OF MARCH
23rd 1999 C.E.
SO IT GOES.
