OPEN CONTENT MEETING 2

8 January 6 pm at Iaspis, Jakobsgatan 27, 3rd floor :: With the second meeting in preparation for the project WHO MAKES AND OWNS YOUR WORK we will expand the discussion on the production, distribution and communication of art, knowledge and research. The open content meetings are to be held once a month during the spring in an attempt to reflect and build on the experience of openness present in different areas of cultural practice. The very first Open Content Meeting held in December identified certain areas of interest such as: Fair Trade (Giving, Sharing, Owning, Trading), Trust, Research as open source, Ownership of creativity and Commodification of communities

We invite all interested participants of the project prior to the OPEN CONTENT MEETING 2 to join us online. Here you can find information about the project together with articles, images and links giving everyone the possibility of contributing and shaping the future of the project.

What is WHO MAKES AND OWNS YOUR WORK?

With a general shift in society towards information-based production, questions of ownership and organizational practices have come to the fore. Simultaneously, in the recent history of digital networks and software development sharing has been a crucial mode of coordination. Today it seems relevant to revisit this near history in order to address a wider field of cultural production. The various methods for licensing material and immaterial products have triggered an intensive international debate among cultural producers where both standpoints and awareness vary. How do these issues play into diverse fields such as medicine, law, economics and artistic practice? Which are the most pertinent international developments?

The project WHO MAKES AND OWNS YOUR WORK? is an ongoing discussion about the means of producing, distributing and thinking about artistic and knowledge production today. Through a number of live meetings and online discussions on the Wiki the project will unravel as a collaborative effort to think and act upon the most urgent questions arising for all kinds of practitioners now. The project is a collaboration between Konstfack, Iaspis and the artists Simon Goldin and Jakob Senneby.
