image this: it's 10 in the morning and you have a alcoholic ginger  
beer in one hand, a program that is so jam-packed it reads like a  
phonebook and a head so full of ideas and information you couldn't  
possibly remember it all. welcome to this is not art: consisting of  
four arts festivals/events, it's arguably australia's biggest and best  
independent arts festival. if you're into experimental electronic arts  
Electrofringe (www.electrofringe.net) is for you. musos please head to  
Sound Summit (www.musicnsw.com/soundsummit). get your text on with the  
National Young Writers' Festival (www.youngwritersfestival.org) or  
Critical Animals (http://criticalanimals.wordpress.com) postgraduate  
conference. But don't take our word for it, they say "It's the five  
days of the year where you get to share your ideas, passions and  
saliva with like-minded crew from all over australia."

this year some of the ccAustralia crew will be taking one of the two  
flights from brisbane to newcastle to join some of australia's leading  
independent artists, performers, musicians, thinkers and ratbags.  
here's where we'll be:

BEYOND READ/WRITE: A LITERATURE REMIX MASTERCLASS (part of the

one side, reader on the other, both toiling away in solitude. But is  
there a more collaborative space for literature? Can work be read  
& write? Creative Commons Australia invites you to cut, paste,  
shuffle & republish in this remixable literature masterclass.

version 2.0?
