Sharing, remixing and developing culture, ideas and communication - the
Goldsmiths experience.

-------------
The workshop will also host the launch of the Goldsmiths College's Free
Culture local chapter - the first chapter of the Free Culture students
movement outside the USA!

The Creative Commons project (creativecommons.org) builds upon the "all rights
reserved" of traditional copyright to create a voluntary "some rights reserved"
copyright. Artists and authors choose to set free their creative works for certain uses, thus
contributing to the Creative Commons environment while retaining some rights on their own work.

Instead of creating artificial barriers in the access to culture, Creative
Commons artists and authors contribute to an inclusive, non-discriminatory
and distributed creative environment where creativity can coexist with
economic exploitation, now free from the increasingly restrictive default
copyright rules that benefit only the big oligopolistic media corporations.
With a voluntary, libertarian and democratic contribution to the Creative
Commons artists and authors continuously reshape and develop the global
cultural environment to the benefit of the community and not of a few media
companies, thus getting back much more than what they contribute.


Sharing and remixing of creative works is made easier by Free Software tools
for content creation, editing and publishing; the freedom to run those
software applications for any purpose, to adapt them to specific needs and to
freely redistribute them for others to use or extend even more is a central
element to the cultural richness, diversity and evolution of the Creative
Commons environment.


The *Liquid Culture 5.06* workshop is a starting point for the review of
existing free culture and free software work at Goldsmiths College and for
further development and coordination between efforts in the various
departments, centres and units, and it will be followed by broader symposia
in the coming months, focused on topics such as the economic viability of
free software and free culture, the gift economy, collective intelligence and
participatory politics.
