De exponentieel groeiende mogelijkheden om publieke toegang te bieden tot omroeparchieven, audiovisuele collecties van cultuurinstellingen via internet stimuleren deze nieuwe cultuurvormen. Ook ontstaan nieuwe vormen van cultuurproductie waarin audiovisuele werken worden uitgewisseld, hergebruikt en gecombineerd tot nieuwe werken en worden via internet meer rechtstreekse verbindingen tussen maker en publiek tot stand gebracht. De conferentie richt zich in het bijzonder op de vraag naar de duurzaamheid van deze nieuwe audiovisuele collecties op internet en de mogelijkheden om deze te kunnen openen voor creatief hergebruik en nieuwe cultuurproductie. Terwijl de activiteit op dit terrein zeer groot is en een zeer breed schala aan actoren omvat, waaronder nationale archieven, omroeporganisaties, maar ook professionele cultuurproducenten en instellingen, tot en met informele p2p bestandsuitwisselingsprojecten, blijft de duurzaamheid van al die collecties on-line zeer ongewis. Massieve publieke investeringen in deze audiovisuele bronnen is een voor de hand liggende oplossing, met al even duidelijke nadelen. Economies of the Commons onderzoekt welke alternatieve economische modellen voorhanden zijn, of ontwikkeld kunnen worden, die deze onschatbaar waardevolle audiovisuele collecties op internet duurzaam kunnen maken. Wellicht moeten we daarvoor de paradoxale vraag beantwoorden wat een geschikt business model zou kunnen zijn voor de 'digital commons', voor het digitale publieke domein? Economies of the Commons richt zich op drie kernkwesties: strategieën voor duurzaamheid, nieuwe modellen en vormen van waarde-creatie, en het potentieel van creatief hergebruik van de publieke digitale bronnen - de 'digital commons'. Onze belangrijkste vragen zijn: - Wat voor strategieën zijn beschikbaar om de groei van deze nieuwe publieke kennisbronnen te bevorderen en hun duurzaamheid op langere termijn te garanderen? - Hoe wordt waarde gecreëerd rond de 'digital commons' en hoe kan die waarde worden aangewend ten behoeve van het publiek belang? - Hoe kunnen deze digitale bronnen worden geactiveerd als een creatieve drijfkracht voor de hedendaagse cultuur, hoe kan het hergebruik van deze ongekend rijke digitale bronnen worden ondersteund en gestimuleerd? De voertaal van de conferentie is Engels www.ecommons.eu ----------- Programma-overzicht per onderdeel: ----------- Legal seminar on audiovisual archives and Intellectual Property Rights Location: Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, Hilversum Thursday April 10, 2008 - 10.00 - 17.00 hrs Subject Legal issues on digitisation and reuse of audiovisual content. The legal seminar includes two workshops on orphan works and clearing rights, and secondly on archives and open content publishing. Speakers: Hubert Best (Best&Soames / FOCAL), M.H. Elferink (Utrecht University), Herkko Hietanen (Turre Legal), Mieke Lauwens (Netherlands Inst. for Sound and Vision), Meike Richter (Journalist, Hamburg) Sebastian Lütgert (Open content activist, Berlin). 9:00 Doors open 9:30 Welcome (Sem Bakker) Lectures: 9:45 – 10:15 Lecture: Hubert Best 10:15 – 10:45 Lecture: Mirjam Elferink 10:45 – 11:15 Coffee break 11:15 – 11:45 Lecture: Herkko Hietanen 11:45 – 12:15 Lecture: Sebastian Lütgert 12:15 – 13:15 Lunch break 13:15 – 13:35 Lecture: Meike Richter 13:35 – 13:55 Lecture: Mieke Lauwers 14:00 – 16:15 Workshops: * The problem of orphan works and clearing rights * Archives and open content licensing 16:15 Closing & drinks ----------- Economies of the Commons Conference: Day I Location: De Balie, Centre for Culture and Politics, Amsterdam Friday April 11, 2008 - 10 - 18.00 hrs 10.00: Opening and Welcome 10.30: Conference Keynote: Peter Kaufman: The Economics of Film and Video Distribution in the Digital Age 11.30: Panel 1: Audiovisual Archives Audiovisual archives are at the beginning of a profound change in the way that they have traditionally operated for the last fifty years. This change is primarily the result of two key developments: [1] Digitisation of analogue material becoming an integral part of the working processes; and [2] New online services that emerge, such as video on demand and online repositories for education. Speakers: Pelle Snickars (SLBA), Poppy Simpson (BFI Screenonline), Tobias Golodnoff (Dansk Culturarv), Roei Amit (INA). 13.00: Lunch break 14.00: Panel 2: Commons-based Peer Production The digital world of internet is increasingly conceptualised as an expanding universe of content that not just sits there to be looked at, but that also can be re-used to create even more content. Much research has already been devoted to user-generated content and the processes through which that content is produced. But what are the economies of peer production? How do new developments compare to firm production and market-based production? Speakers: Felix Stalder (Open Flows), Jamie King (Steal This Film), Jon Phillips (Creative Commons), Sebastian Lütgert (oil21.org) Moderator: Paul Keller (Kennisland) 15.30 Coffee break 15.45: Panel 3: European Digital Library Individual efforts cannot meet the overarching requirements leading to ubiquitous access on a pan-European scale and do not accumulate to the critical mass needed to steer the research and development roadmap advocated by the industry. This gap is acknowledged by policy makers. Now European and national governments need to take responsibility to close the gap. Speakers: Paul Doorenbosch (KB - National Library of The Netherlands), Jill Cousins (Director European Digital Library), Sonja de Leeuw (Utrecht University/ case: Video Active), Georg Eckes (Deutsches Filminstitut / case: European Film Gateway) 17.15: Wrap up first conference day ----------- Public Keynotes & Responses Location: De Balie, Centre for Culture and Politics, Amsterdam Friday April 11, 2008 - 20.30 - 22.30 Sustainable Images for the Future Introduction The Friday night of the Economies of the Commons conference is dedicated to Images for the Future and the Commons. Edwin van Huis (Director General of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision) will provide the introduction about the largest digitisation project in the Netherlands, Images for the Future. Public Keynotes: Rick Prelinger (Prelinger Archives): The Audiovisual Commons and the Social Contract Rick Prelinger will focus on the future of archives demonstrated by the case of the Prelinger Archives, a collection of 48.000 films of which a central selection has been added to the Library of Congress. David Bollier (On the Commons): The Commons as a New Sector of Value- creation David Bolier speaks on the subject of value creation in open networks and how to link the Commons with government and industry. Debate We end the session with a panel discussion with the speakers, joined by Emjay Rechsteiner of the Dutch Filmmuseum about the Commons and Dutch audiovisual archives. Moderator: Joeri van den Steenhoven (St. Nederland Kennisland) This evening program is presented in association with Images for the Future. ----------- Economies of the Commons Conference: Day II Location: De Balie, Centre for Culture and Politics, Amsterdam Saturday April 12, 2008 - 11 - 18.00 hrs 11.00: Panel 4: Uncommon Business Models This panel will take on the subject of open business models. The workshop will be kicked off by two experts from related media industries that are arguably ahead of the curve. Speakers: Jan Velterop, CEO of Knewco and one of the leading experts on Open Access will give us an insight in the deployment of open business models in scientific publishing. Over the past couple of years Open Access has been able to provide a valid and sustainable alternative in this 7 billion dollar industry. Jonas Woost, Head of Music at the pioneering music company Lastfm will pick up from there. In his presentation he will highlight how his company has successfully generated income streams in an industry that has shown to be particularly vulnerable in the open environment of the internet. Followed by a panel discussion with: Peter Kaufman (Intelligent Television), Roei Amit (INA), Rick Prelinger (Prelinger Archives) and Eerde Hovinga (NIBG-tbc). Moderator: Harry Verwayen (Kennisland) 12.30: Lunch Break 13.30: Panel 5: Intangible Heritage Resources in the (Non-)Western World In our age of increasing global connectivity, cultural mobility and digital reproduction, intangible heritage is increasingly being appreciated, appropriated and exploited. Traditional music styles from various parts of the world have enchanted numerous musicians, scholars and admirers all over the world. Still, the preservation and transmission of intangible heritage faces an abundance of challenges and difficulties. Speakers: Joost Smiers (Prof. em. Political Science of the Arts), Shubha Chaudhuri (ARCE), Anthony McCann (University of Ulster), Wim van Zanten (ICTM) 15.00: Coffee Break 15.15: Panel 6: Professional Cultural Producers This panel addresses the public content zone beyond that of user- generated-content: the possibilities and problems related to making professionally produced cultural productions publicly available on the internet. What kind of revenue models exist for that? How is the public interest in accessibility squared with the need of professionals to make a living? What new and alternative distribution models emerge for professional cultural producers and cultural institutions? Speakers: Florian Schneider (Kein.tv), Kenneth Goldsmith (Ubuweb), Bauke Freiburg (Fabchannel / Culture Player), Chai Locher (NFTVM), Rick Prelinger (Prelinger Archives). Moderator: Eric Kluitenberg 16.45: Coffee Break 17.00: Report from the Legal Seminar on Intellectual Property Rights Report session of the most important results from the workshop on orphan works & clearing rights, the workshop on open content licensing, and the closing debate of the legal seminar on Thursday April 10. 17.30: Closing Session / Conference wrap up ----------- Mashup Cinema Location: De Balie, Centre for Culture and Politics, Amsterdam Saturday April 12, 2008 - 21.00 - 00.00 Found footage and the digital commons Public screening, live cinema & performance program Found Footage has always been an important source of inspiration for experimental filmmakers. The use of 'found images' is not just affordable, it is mostly employed to attach a different meaning through a new composition of images to existing icons. With materials found on the floor, in the waste baskets of montage rooms, or in a dust bin outside the studio, filmmakers are conveying messages, which besides being pretentious or at times politically charged, can also simply be funny. During this special evening about reuse of digital and analogue images you can expect a presentation by the internet's most renown film archivist Rick Prelinger. He will present a selection from his monumental archive of 'sponsored' and 'ephemeral' films about media publics and media producers from the 1930s to the 1960s, which can be read as a historical commentary on our contemporary digital media culture. Next to this a short-film program has been put together with films that attach a new meaning to existing analogue film materials. These screenings are interspersed with short music and sound performances in which music fragments are mixed live, sampled from digital remix projects such as ccMixter and Freesound, and historical sound samples presented by Kenneth Goldsmith (Ubuweb) Films: Outer Space Peter Tscherkassky 10’ Suggesting a convulsive hall of mirrors, Peter Tscherkassky's widescreen tour de force Outer Space reinvents a 1981 Barbara Hershey horror vehicle, leaving the original's crystalline surface intact only to violently shatter its narrative illusion. L’Arrivée Peter Tscherkassky 2’ L'Arrivée is Tscherkassky's second homage to the Lumiére-brothers. First you see the arrival of the film itself, which shows the arrival of a train at a station. But that train collides with a second train, causing a violent crash, which leads us to an unexpected third arrival, the arrival of a beautiful woman – the happy-end. Light is Calling Bill Morisson 8’ A scene from The Bells (1926) is optically reprinted and edited to Michael Gordon’s 7 minute composition. A meditation on the fleeting nature of life and love, as seen through the roiling emulsion of an film. Beirut Outtakes Peggy Ahwesh 8’ The cellars of a traditional cinema in the entertainment district of Beirut are opened after years of being hermetically sealed. Peggy Awash constructed a veritable time machine out of the film materials found there, with a spoken montage of old Lebanese drama and western action movies. Gravity Nicholas Provost 6’ The reassuring world of multiplied cinematographic kisses is shattered by a stroboscopic effect that plunges and looses us into the dizzying vertigo of the embrace where, as often in Provost’s cinema, love becomes a passionate battle in which monsters are finally unmasked. Bitches Brew Heidrun Holzfeind 11’ Sampled from mostly male directed movies from the 60s to today, the video shows women who take back control and power, fight off their attackers or take revenge on their assailants. A man’s nightmare! The Mashup Cinema program is presented in association with balie cinema ----------- LOCATIONS: De Balie - Centre for Culture and Politics Kleine Gartmanplantsoen 10 Amsterdam www.debalie.nl Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision Sumatralaan 45 Mediapark Hilversum www.beeldengeluid.nl Conference website and dossier with suggested reading materials: www.ecommons.eu (compiled: 29.03.2008) ______________________________________________________ * Verspreid via nettime-nl.
