articles · Of money, meaning and artists in residence
17/6/2007 20:34 · 16 votes · 1 comment
Shortly before most of my fellow aesthetically challenged comrades arrived in Dubrovnik, whilst the keener iCommoners soaked up the Adriatic sun, a handful of artists in residence were toiling away to produce and curate an exhibition for our benefit. The low level of engagement from practising artists in fields beyond electronica music, academic writing and journalism is a problem...
articles · Unlikely business models in the bazaar
17/6/2007 02:33 · 32 votes · no comments
It seems impossible, or at least unfashionable, to have a discussion about free culture without including business models, so why have a whole panel devoted to the subject? The speakers made short work of this worry with a fascinating range of approaches to supporting creativity that include, but go far beyond, the usual story of monetising the non-commercial license clause.

articles · Let's Tear Down the Top-Down Conference!
by Neeru · voted on 18/6/2007 19:39 · 49 votes · 27 comments
NOTE: A number of people talked to me about this today and these ideas are mostly "stolen" from those conversations.
Creative Commons, in some respects, is a movement about meritocracy. One in which, those who are talented are able to self-publish, gain recognition, and become valued for their talents. Without this opportunity, those from the ground are not able to shine. In...
articles · Why Byways and Backlanes? Take the Highway!

“The philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next.” Henry Ward Beecher
In ancient Rome, lawyers and politicians, separate from these offices, were often prominent philosophers – Cicero may serve as a good example in this respect - and even today, jurists can obtain their legal doctorate in philosophy (Ph.D.). However, I have to admit that as a modern-day and rather...

articles · The Art of Free Software
by AndrewL, Tactical Tech · commented on 25/6/2007 17:41 · 22 votes · 4 comments
The "Why artists don't use more free software" panel was a strange beast. Swinging between polarised positions and shared understanding it left me feeling little progress had been made. There was the usual free software righteousness and artistic stubbornness. "I just want it to work" people would complain, "you have to make it work" the geeks would reply. And yes it should work...
articles · Why don't artists use open source software?
by Karen · commented on 21/6/2007 17:50 · 48 votes · 8 comments
By Karen Rustad and Nelson Pavlosky
The topic of the Saturday noon peer production stream session was "Why don't artists use open source software?" However, as was quickly established by the panel, there was also an important companion question: "Why don't developers make free art?"
Artists feel pressured to use open software for ideological reasons, but when they try it typically...
