A panel on the aesthetic and political possibilities afforded by open
source systems, and related debates around copyright and intellectual
property.
The panelists will examine sites like Wikipedia and
Digg.com<http://digg.com/>as well as
p2p networks and social networking sites, and the practices and
challenges inherent to each. They will also explore artworks, arts
institutions, and businesses that have sought to adopt open source
models, and touch on current challenges to the continuation of this
ethos such as "net neutrality" legislation.
Organized by Rhizome, in association with the Vera List Center for Art
and Politics.
This event is presented as part of the Vera List Center's program
cycle on "The Public Domain," and on occasion of Rhizome's tenth
anniversary.
