		T.A.Z. is not the property of any philosophy but chaos and elegant disorder.
		TAZ stands for Temporary Autonomous Zone: that place where we are free from influence of ALL outside forces, left with only our selves unobstructed.

	Temporary Autonomous Zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Temporary Autonomous Zone is Hakim Bey's most famous work.
		The essay uses various historical and philosophical examples, all leading to the conclusion that the best way to create a non-hierarchial system of social relationships is to concentrate on the present and on releasing ones own mind from the controlling mechanisms that have been imposed on it..
		In formation of a Temporary Autonomous Zone (TAZ), information becomes a key tool that sneaks into the cracks of formal procedures.

	Zero News Datapool, Hakim Bey, The Temporary Autonomous Zone,
		The TAZ is like an uprising which does not engage directly with the State, a guerilla operation which liberates an area (of land, of time, of imagination) and then dissolves itself to re-form elsewhere/elsewhen, before the State can crush it.
		The TAZ is thus a perfect tactic for an era in which the State is omnipresent and all-powerful and yet simultaneously riddled with cracks and vacancies.
		And because the TAZ is a microcosm of that "anarchist dream" of a free culture, I can think of no better tactic by which to work toward that goal while at the same time experiencing some of its benefits here and now.

	Global Guerrillas: GLOBAL GUERRILLAS AND TEMPORARY AUTONOMOUS ZONES
		TAZ draw analogies with the multinational buccaneer pirate havens in the 17th and 18th century and the Medieval Assasins networks (based in the mountains between what is now Israel, Syria and Iraq) and the concepts of data havens, annonymity etc. available via the Internet.
		TAZ were the subject of a lot of discussion just as the World Wide Web was starting to get popular about 10 years ago, some of which are well worth re-reading even today.
		That such 'zones' are 'autonomous', not simply from the state or governing bodies, but are also internally non-hierarchical, co-operative and non-dogmatic, suggests that they differ in large part from the 'guerilla' structures or cells that you pursue.

		The "lawless zone" created in a three-day festival is intentional, as can be seen in the following quote about the first three-day festival in the United States, as well as the thought of creating something new and different.
		It is always a zone that is taken over (as Bey says, liberated) without compliance with government (raves are now largely within legal boundaries, but are still frowned on as events where illegal activities proliferate).
		The same concept applies when the zone becomes rhetoric; Bey argues that the state is rhetoric, and therefore when the zone becomes permanent, it is crushed by the state and becomes ordinary life as well.

	The Temporary Autonomous Zone
		The TAZ is "utopian" in the sense that it envisions an intensification of everyday life, or as the Surrealists might have said, life's penetration by the Marvelous.
		Because the TAZ is an intensification, a surplus, an excess, a potlatch, life spending itself in living rather than merely surviving (that snivelling shibboleth of the eighties), it cannot be defined either by Tech or anti-Tech.
		The TAZ is an art of life in continual rising up, wild but gentle--a seducer not a rapist, a smuggler rather than a bloody pirate, a dancer not an eschatologist.

		The TAZ involves a kind of ferality, a growth from tameness to wild(er)ness, a "return" which is also a step forward.

		He wins us over to stern realism, but that one concept of Temporary Autonomous Zones is so familiar to me, and probably to him too, that it's worth considering outside the Hakim Bey context.
		I think it was as long ago as 1970 that a reader of Anarchy, Graham Whiteman, was writing there about the equivalent of temporary autonomous zones that he perceived in the vast rock or pop festivals that started happening in 1967, notably the event at Woodstock in New York State in August 1969.
		But once the phrase Temporary Autonomous Zones lodges in your mind you begin to see it/them everywhere: fleeting pockets of anarchy that occur in daily life.

		In his book Temporary Autonomous Zone, Hakim Bey suggests that we not worry about changing the world, but instead take charge of our own lives whenever possible.
		He reminds us that, even though such insurrections as the ones in Paris 1871 and during the Spanish Civil War were ultimately crushed militarily, they at least achieved a period of autonomy for a portion of their lives, which is more than many of us can say.
		All in all, `temporary' or `travelling' autonomous zones can easily be created by people with the will to do them.

		The final section of the book is the work "The Temporary Autonomous Zone", the TAZ from which the book gets its name and which offers us an important counterpoint to the goal of a Promethean Society.
		The Autonomous Zone is a space, large or small, where (to use of one of Bey's favored phrases) "the chains of the law have been broken".
		As for being Temporary, that may even be an intentional part of its design...such as in an underground party held at some hidden or remote location.

		Drawing inspiration from the autonomous zones that appear in Burroughs' novels, most notable TAZ being interzone, and then there is the pirate utopias depicted in Cities of the Red Night.
		Perhaps certain small TAZs have lasted whole lifetimes because they went unnoticed, because they never intersected with the Spectacle, never appeared outside that real life which is invisible to the agents of Simulation.
		A desire to be invisible, a temporal autonomous zone, mixed with the need to generate an income, in order to be invisible.

		The TEMPORARY AUTONOMOUS ZONE is a concept developed by Hakim Bey, in an effort to make a space for free action in a world increasingly hemmed in by strictures, rules and prohibitions.
		TAZ short-circuits all such notions, by concentrating on liberating a useful amount of space, time, energy or whatever and holding onto it only as long as the effort required to do so does not exceed the gain to be had from occupying such a liberated zone.
		This Temporary nature of TAZ gives it great power, as energy is not wasted holding untenable positions.

		The principals of anarchism, the temporary autonomous zone and criticism of consumer culture that was initially taken by the horns was promptly steered off a cliff.
		However impotent the discourse was, it was the closest thing that I've seen from the mainstream that not only acknowledged that people feel empty and directionless and tied to consumption as the source of meaning in their life but contained its own criticism.
		Those who discover the temporary autonomous zone do so as some kind of native mystic of our culture who finds the moments where they are freely thinking and acting in a way that is communicative, expressive, creative and responsible rather than responding and reacting.

	Research Perspective
		Put simply, TAZs are places that he and other users create in a mobile way, moving from place to place, as a way of governing an underground network of serious computer users, and in doing so the Internet becomes the key component for sharing information, maximizing the use the Net.
		Bey says, "The TAZ is 'utopian' in the sense that it envisions an intensification of everyday life, but it cannot be utopian in the actual meaning of the word 'nowhere,' [for] the TAZ is somewhere" (395).
		Bey strongly defends the use of TAZs as an existing, self-governing way of life, and a way to use the Net for all it is worth.

	Recent Futures: TAZ, Wired and the Internet : Geert Lovink
		One of the channels responsible for the reputation of TAZ was _Mondo 2000_, a cyberpunk upbeat underground paper from San Francisco.
		The festival aspect of TAZ, his emphasis on (data) piracy, the Islands in the Net, the flirt with luddism, all these elements have never played such an important role, expect for the concept of psychic nomadism, which was used to describe the feeling of hours long surfing the Web.
		The TAZ, as it became operational within the first phase of the hype (1993-96) became attached to a libertarian agenda, to which the anarchist author of TAZ only had loose ties.

		I think the TAZ isn't so much about reckless freedom as it is about developing a system which is flexible enough to allow for communities to develop new ways of expressing their inherint freedom.
		My understanding of what a TAZ is may differ a bit from yours, but then again, for all I know, yours may differ from even that of the author.
		In closing, a TAZ sounds like an interesting idea, but I don't know that it's really practical for something like a party, and, if it were, I believe that you'd need to have made MASSIVE preparations beforehand.
