------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first local Creative Commons Salon will consist of series of talks 
about intellectual property
and the politics of ownership and distribution within the context of 
contemporary production of
"content", and will present current local production relevant for the 
topic. Guests from Brazil,
Sweden and Croatia will share experiences and opinions connected with 
their own activistic
approach towards the issues. This time we focus more on popular 
"content" such are music,
video games and movies.

Connected with the recent launch of CC licenses in Serbia, will also 
present CCBit, first Creative
Commons-licensed music CD compilation in Serbia, and Freedom Toaster, a 
device/interface for
individual file-sharing in public spaces.

Welcome!

http://napon.org/content/view/17/9

The exhibition Play Cultures is an international exhibition that 
presents contemporary
artistic production that uses the language of digital games and shows 
one possible view of
how the genre of digital games can be used in a creative and engaging 
way. The exhibition
consists of standalone games, mods, video works, multiplayer games and 
interactive
storytelling.

The curator and the editor of the Play Cultures conference Kristian 
Lukic' wili talk about the
exhibition and accompanying events and discussions related to the 
positions and questions
problematized by this project, with a special focus on the issues of 
licensing, participation in
contemporary gaming and virtual platforms.

What is the position of the class of "gamers" in today's culture and 
society? Could game
culture be used for emancipatory purposes and education? Is the 
militarization of game
culture something that can be deconstructed or does it represent a 
highly customizable
recruitment and ideological tool of the war culture?

18:00
discussion:
After copyright

Sooner or later, the changes within traditional models of economy and 
ownership are inevitable.
What will happen with billions of texts, images, music and video on 
offer? How all this material
will be organized, and how we are going to navigate trough it? Who is 
curating the archives,
who uses the archives, and in how? Do we enter the times in which the 
politics will be conducted
trough the culture of interface and control of meta-data?

presentation and discussion
Piratbyran and Pirate Bay - activsm and service economy

Is realaktivism the realpolitik of the present? Is theory today 
irrelevant if not offering it's own
models of the ideas it contemplates, applied in material practice? But 
does activism turns to
real-activism, and is there an ideology blurred by particular and 
fragmented short-term goals
of myriad of activistic initiatives?
On the history of the organization Piratbyran and the project of 
PirateBay.org.
Is hyper-production of activistic initiatives presents a step further 
towards the economy of
content and services? Self-organization as the model of organizing 
collectives and societies...
