Dear Paul

 

If my Centre was to try to organise something, do you think its central Edinburgh location would be an advantage/disadvantage?

This sounds really interesting Adnan. Perhaps people up here in Scotland would be interested in organising a similar kind of event to help spread the word about CC in the creative communities?

 

Also, it would be good to get some feedback about the Brighton symposium for those of us who weren't able to make it down...

 

Cheers.

Liquid Culture 5.06

Creative Commons, Free Culture and Free Software: Workshop organized by LiquidCulture

Wednesday 1st June 2005, 5-7pm, Venue: room MB137 (Main Building)
Admission is free, but please register in advance at http://liquidculture.info/5.06/register

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.
