For those of you who don’t know, I’m a huge supporter of Creative Commons<\/a> (CC), and more specifically iCommons<\/a>. The former is an organization dedicated to open source coding and content for creative technologists, designers, artists, musicians, scientists (and more!), and promotes access and re-mixing through distribution licenses that are alternatives to copyright<\/a> worldwide. The latter (iCommons<\/a>) is an international community of the same types, all of whom may use or promote CC, copyfight<\/a>, pirated<\/a> content\/material for activism and\/or art, remixing and reusing legally and illegally, or anything around “the commons” of content and community; this is mostly manifested as a yearly summit of amazing individuals talking about and furthering the state of the (communal) arts (and the community itself).<\/p>\n

In 2006 and 2007, I participated as an artist in resident (AIR) for iCommons<\/a> (in Brazil and Croatia, respectively), and in the latter year I ran a larger AIR programme, where there were 6 interdisciplinary artists (and one arts critic!) from 4 continents. Although I’m sitting out this year (Sapporo!), I’m still a friend, as evidenced by the logo\/link below and in my sidebar.<\/p>\n

I highly recommend checking it out and getting involved – my life, art, networks and activist tendencies are better having been involved, and I’m sure to be participating again in the future.<\/p>\n
