<div dir="ltr">Sorry for any cross posting...<br><br>Hi all,<br><br>Images on Flickr for Furtherfield's People’s Magna Carta, at the Frequency festival. Lincoln 2015.<br><br><a href="http://bit.ly/1WUfz6T">http://bit.ly/1WUfz6T</a> <br><br>As
part of Frequency Festival of Digital Culture (Lincoln 2015),
Furtherfield presented People’s Magna Carta, a contemporary remixing of
the Magna Carta for the network age.<br><br>The Magna Carta remains a
symbol of liberty, addressing questions of censorship, ownership,
security, equality before the law, the right to jury trial, habeas
corpus, and regular elections. Its significance is as relevant as ever
when we consider the upheavals of our times.<br><br>However, the original charter addressed the relationships and rights of a powerful few.<br><br>Together, residents and visitors to Lincoln updated it to assert and celebrate new liberties for everyone.<br><br>Everybody
got involved with 4 days of seriously fun events - street games; live
collaborative writing and drawing events; and walks - that engaged the
historical and social contexts of the Magna Carta, in Lincoln in
physical spaces and via their devices. Through public participation,
People’s Magna Carta expresses new communally identified freedoms (and
limits to those freedoms) in many digital forms that will live online
and on our devices long after the event.<br></div>
