Interfacing the Law Intro

Talking back to the Law : rather than starting with the law and changing it, starting with research that pushes back. Questioning what is Authorship? (Foucault def. how to define an author)

Extralegal

publishing/public libraries in regards to digital content. Doesn't seem that this tradition has continued in the technology age.

The Brutal Intro to Copyright

Everything you make is copyright (in general). You cannot not have a copyright, it cannot be taken away from you. With some exceptions. This has become the natural unquestionable (bureaucratically) standard.

Copyright designed for individual ownership. It is linked to you as a person, and doesn't require registration. This opens up the question, what is a work, and who is the creator in given situations.

Now as copyright is a personal given, copyright infringements are easy and commonplace - especially in the digital environment.

Licenses are a layer above the "natural" copyright which opens up the possibilities of "ownership". Public Domain licenses are technically no attributable during the lifetime of the author. CC0 licenses still cannot get around individual copyright.

Some software licenses have been developed to get around the restrictions. They have not yet been perpetuated into other areas.

GPO & Copyleft

GPO license is a free software license. It has the Copyleft property. Copyleft is a property of some licenses which enforces the following viral methodology. This control imposed on it, is that you must keep using this license which allows use without attribution. This means that the freedom sharing license continues.

Libraries

aaaaaarg.fail born out of the "public school" from LA. For now it is invite only (invited!). Aside from the books and articles, the community on the forums are very helpful.

IRC#ebooks

irc.irchighway.net #ebooks

Fun times downloading ebooks (sometimes not the ones you expect) from IRC!!

Port Test

To test that my ports are open, connect to an external machine and then telnet my external ip and port.

telnet <myip> <port>

Selfhosting

Workserve server for learning and experiments. Hosts my own code repository.

TODO:

  • email
  • calendar
  • contacts
  • chat(?)
  • invoicing
  • publishing machine
  • subdomains
  • finish homepage

Audio

Attempt to merge performance, coding, and electronics (maybe some saxophone).

Synthesiser

Create a performative audio synthesiser. Create an *instrument* that can be mastered and controlled, but now without its quirks. Most likely digital, so as to easily generate visuals. Options : Teensy, RaspberryPi, or Hoxton Owl board.

Software options, Mozzie, Sparkfun patchable audio board, Pure Data, or Openframeworks (maybe something else?). Hopefully can be played into light system like this. Would be nice to build something that can be controlled while playing the Sax live, maybe with something like this and turn it into something like this.

Euclid

Idea to recycle the lights array built for an old project, and re-configure it to be part of a synthesis installation based around Euclidian Rhythms.

Tests and exercises can be found in my code repo (link above).

An example and explanation of Eclidian Rhythms.

Clapping Music

Openframeworks version of clapping music. Working.

Adapt clapping music to set a euclidian rhythm as the "score".

Bookmaking

Digital generation of a book - either visual or text based. With the OSP html2print tools there seems to be a wealth of possibility and control.

TODO :

  • Setup html2print
  • Experiment with html2print
  • Generate some content
    • graphic
    • text
  • Learn (more) bookbinding techniques
  • Practice bookbinding techniques
  • Learn (more) printing techniques
  • Practice printing techniques

Interactive xPub

Idea to make a modular Experimental Publishing Model generating possible publications using an actor, and action, and a subject.

Want it to be developed so that it incorporates the Speculative Publication, the process and somehow the archivability.

Working in NodeJS. Saves to JSON file to start storing scores and remembering previous gens. Not yet served on a public facing webhost.

Personal Proj

Create xPub inspiration cards like Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies
