Share/Share Alike
46pm
Professor Lawrence Lessig of Stanford University Law School will discuss Creative Commons, an organization he also chairs, and the creation of a layer of reasonable copyright, or “some rights reserved,” for collecting and putting creative works in the public domain. This project, inspired by the open-source software movement, includes music, film, photography and literature. A panel of artists/theorists including Joline Blais of the University of Maine, John Ippollito of the University of Maine and Guggenheim Museum, journalist Carrie McLaren and Eyebeam’s Director of Research and Development Jonah Peretti, will respond to Lessig’s presentation and discuss the implications of copyright and intellectual property on current creative practice. This event is open to the public and is free for Eyebeam members. Share/Share Alike is part of Distributed Creativity (www.eyebeam.org/distributedcreativity), Eyebeam’s sixth annual online forum, investigating new paradigms for artmaking that take advantage of mobile and distributed technologies. Distributed Creativity will take place from Nov. 12Dec. 13, 2004.

Noderunner
24pm
Noderunner, created by Eyebeam artists in residence Yury Gitman and Carlos Gomez de Llarena, is a team-based game played on a city’s open wireless network. Noderunner turns home and business distributed wireless spillover into a playing field as teams dash through the city looking for open wireless ports to which they connect to and map to gain points. Noderunner was recently awarded the Golden Nica for Net Excellence at the 2003 Ars Electronica Festival. Teams will leave from Eyebeam’s exhibition space at 2pm and space is limited so please reserve your spot by emailing rsvp@eyebeam.org.
