A CULTURAL ECOSYSTEM

ecology?
workin with open source software exposes a network of relations between audience, community + tools
relations exceed Arts but as 'culture' are embedded in social, economical and technological structures
not static but process, interdependency
interaction with environment (always)
more literal ecological thoughts:
can we replace natural resources with information?
digital over print -> wider reach + lower environmental impact
software to visualize or regulate eco processes

COPYRIGHT ALTERNATIVES

Copyright today mostly about intellectual property
problem: traditional notion of 'property' is incompatible with (intangible) concepts of knowledge or creativity
Constant: licenses as performative act
even in Copyleft: starting point is individual Author
can/ should we refuse all copyright? (its always market driven)
position of author is never neutral - use this standpoint to enable use for others, highlight relations etc
"At what price can you reuse an image?"

ON COLLABORATION

(in Media Arts) complexity and multiplicity of technologies used makes collaboration a must or inherent, apparent
moment of "was that me or was that you?" merging (thinking) processes
"Its more a protocol than a language"

FREE TOOLS

"software can be a medium, but its usually a too for making connections flexible"
software as metaphorical instrument
becomes a tool to think with
each program programs in a figurative sense (defaults)

SHARING KNOWLEDGE

importance of feeding the ecology that keeps you going
misunderstanding that all free software is automatically open: who has access? who has ability and time to read/ edit?
