== Content ==
Unlike the rest of the Year Zero ARG 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 sent by the [[pilgrims]] in 2022/0000or any banned media. ===submit@opensourceresistance.net=== The site encourages you to submit subversive work or platforms by which the work can be distributed to submit@opensourceresistance.net with the suggestion that the work 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.

Unbelievable, the quality of stuff you have been sending in.
Check out the new content on the site-and beyond that, people are
starting to submit platforms with real potential. From campus DJs
and copy store clerks to people with connections at major networks
and publications. This feels like the start of something real.
(I'll be sending out the first few connections soon, so please keep
them coming. Every voice out here helps.)
Local news-some very serious artists in LA are making a difference
in a very public place. Check out the piece near Melrose and Ogden in LA.
If you're worried about where this country (and this world) is going,
check out their work. It will remind you why you should be worried:
but maybe give you a little juice for the fight, too.
Lastly, a few of us are talking about organizing a meeting here in LA.
If you're interested, show up at the Melrose location at or a little
after 7 pm on this Friday evening (April 13th). Wear something that
shows you're one of us. Stand under the big pig and follow the revolver
across the street to the van. Knock twice. When you've got the stuff,
get out of there fast.
Don't attract attention. Don't be followed.
That's it for now. Sometimes it feels like hope is hard to come by.
What you're doing makes hope a little easier for me to find.
Neil

==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 (website)|Another Version of the Truth]] was made, talking about how the creator of [[Art Is Resistance]] was "disappeared" by the government. Many people speculate that this Neil Czerno had also put up Art Is Resistance.
Czerno seems to have been the one to first use the "AIR flag", since it appears on this page numerous times. The star field of the flag is actually a lower-case r, finishing the abbreviation "OSR" in the site's logo. The star field also appears without stripes at the bottom of the page, as if it were a final word on the subject - "resist.".
==AIR Flags on London Mural==
[[Image:3 13 07.jpg|thumb|Photo of London mural posted on nin.com]]
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 posted in the 'current' section of the official [[nin.com]] website.
