| [Nettime-nl] What is Free Culture? |
Sorry for ><, please >> /// What is Free Culture? Three days workshop. 13th, 14th and 15th of November 2013, WORM, Rotterdam Limited Capacity, booking: [email protected] http://www.worm.org/home/view/event/7791 /// OK, so... What is free culture exactly? On paper, it seems a rather straightforward and simple thing: free culture is a social movement that promotes making works that can be freely copied, modified and distributed. Wikipedia, Linux, freely downloadable music by net labels are good examples. Everything should be accessible, used and reused anywhere for any purpose, without getting in trouble with lawyers, signing over stuff to Google or Facebook, etc. Simple. But is it so simple? In this workshop, we will critically investigate free culture and the relationships between people creating free culture projects. In specific case studies, we'll have a closer look at different communities around Flickr, Debian, YouTube, ... as well as communal religious movements. We'll look for answers to the questions: * Is there really such a thing as a free culture movement? * If yes, is it defined by specific ways of work interactions? And how can we characterize them? * Where do these models fall short? /// What is Free Culture? is a workshop facilitated by Eleanor Greenhalgh and Dave Young, with an introduction from Eric Kluitenberg and Aymeric Mansoux, and an experimentation on live visual documentation design by Loes Claessens and Bor Smulders. The workshop has been made possible through a partnership between WORM, the Piet Zwart Institute, the Willem de Kooning Academie and Creating 010, Hogeschool Rotterdam. It is the very official and exclusive WORM-up workshop the FREE?! event, a one day journey into the cultures of sharing, that will happen at Het Nieuwe Instituut, the 29th of November 2013, Rotterdam, where the outcome of the workshop will be presented, amongst many other things.
