WHO MAKES AND OWNS YOUR WORK?
OPEN CONTENT MEETING 2

8 January 6 pm at Iaspis, Jakobsgatan 27, 3rd floor


With the second meeting in preparation for the project WHO MAKES AND 
OWNS YOUR WORK we will expand the discussion on the production, 
distribution and communication of art, knowledge and research. The open 
content meetings are to be held once a month during the spring in an 
attempt to reflect and build on the experience of openness present in 
different areas of cultural practice.  The very first Open Content 
Meeting held in December identified certain areas of interest such as:
 

-  Fair Trade  (Giving, Sharing, Owning, Trading)

-  Trust

-  Research as open source

-  Ownership of creativity

-  Commodification of communities

We invite all interested participants of the project prior to the OPEN 
CONTENT MEETING 2 to join us online: www.whomakesandownsyourwork.org 
Here you can find information about the project together with articles, 
images and links giving everyone the possibility of contributing and 
shaping the future of the project.  


What is WHO MAKES AND OWNS YOUR WORK?

With a general shift in society towards information-based production, 
questions of ownership and organizational practices have come to the 
fore. Simultaneously, in the recent history of digital networks and 
software development sharing has been a crucial mode of coordination. 
Today it seems relevant to revisit this near history in order to 
address a wider field of cultural production. The various methods for 
licensing material and immaterial products have triggered an intensive 
international debate among cultural producers where both standpoints 
and awareness vary. How do these issues play into diverse fields such 
as medicine, law, economics and artistic practice?  Which are the most 
pertinent international developments?

The project WHO MAKES AND OWNS YOUR WORK? is an ongoing discussion 
about the means of producing, distributing and thinking about artistic 
and knowledge production today. Through a number of live meetings and 
online discussions on the Wiki www.whomakesandownsyourwork.org the 
project will unravel as a collaborative effort to think and act upon 
the most urgent questions arising for all kinds of practitioners now. 
The project is a collaboration between Konstfack, Iaspis and the 
artists Simon Goldin and Jakob Senneby.
