[Commons-Law] Remix Workshop- CC India Launch

[Lawrence Liang]

Hi all

As a part of the launch of the Creative Commons india at the Techfest  
in IIT Mumba, we are hapy to announce two workshops that explore  
remix and sharing cultures.

WORKSHOP 1

Do We Need Remix?
- A Tactical Exploration Through Play With Media Materials
Facilitators: Members of the Sarai Media Lab

Today we stand surrounded by a range and density of cultural  
materials. There are multiple sites of production of texts, images  
and sounds. These circulate with velocity through expanding and  
intricate networks of transmission. What is our relationship with  
this world of images and sounds; and what are the forms and practices  
that can bring us to appropriate and regenerate our own moments of  
insertion into these networks? What do we infringe on when we start  
inserting ourselves into these networks, and what possibilities do we  
create? Do we need remix?

Dates: 26th & 27th of January, 2007

Duration: 2 sessions held over 2 days.

Venue: IIT Bombay

WORKSHOP 2
Sharing Is Creating

The two day workshop will be conducted by Shaina Anand, who is a  
filmmaker, media artist and founder of chitrakarkhana.net (picture  
factory/artist food) - a fully independent unit for experimental  
media based in Mumbai. Before one begins to embrace the framework of  
Creative Commons, copyleft or free media, one has to ponder deeply  
over notions such as 'author', 'creator' and 'copyright' holder. This  
workshop will enable the creation of original content and derivative  
works through various stages in the making of short videos.


Dates: 26th & 27th of January, 2007

Duration: 2 sessions held over 2 days.

Venue: IIT Bombay
