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?
