La Biennale de Montréal 2009
Tout comme le mouvement Source libre a été au coeur des développements technologiques dans le monde des logiciels, les mouvements Creative Commons et Open Source Culture vont, dans les années à venir, révolutionner la culture elle-même. Coïncidant avec le sommet de ce mouvement, La Biennale de Montréal 2009, « Culture communautaire », se veut le point de mire international des expositions, participations et débats de ce mouvement planétaire sur la culture de l’innovation lorsqu’elle débutera en mai 2009.
La Biennale de Montréal 2009 constituera ainsi la première biennale mondiale « source libre » et réunira arts visuels, design, architecture, théâtre et musique pour engager le public dans ce processus de création qu’est la culture communautaire et la création source libre. La Biennale de Montréal 2009 sera à la fois exploration et engagement dans le processus généré par le mouvement de culture communautaire tant par divers projets ouverts à la participation du grand public qu’à la réalisation de projets parmi les plus avant-gardistes qu’ait produits ce mouvement. — source : Centre international d’art contemporain de Montréal
Culture Communautaire, ça fait un tantinet redondant, non ? Peu importe, ça bouge :)
A Sun scientist working on Sun’s DReaM/Open Media Commons DRM system, Susan Landau, gave a talk today [PDF] and Benjamin Mako Hill was there to report.
I really hope Creative Commons will not engage in this slippery slope.
“But DReaM enforcement of CC licenses is a bad thing and the bad taste that it inevitably leaves in many commoners mouths is not hard to explain:
- Many commoners are not comfortable with the idea of DRM because it shifts power over users’ computing devices away from the users and makes computers obey the will of a copyright holder. That’s true of DReaM just as much as as it is of Apple iTunes or Microsoft DRM.
- Many commoners are not completely comfortable with all CC licenses, so the idea of technical protection measures enforcing these terms, even those allowing for fair use lines and in line with the will of the author, is seen as dangerous.
To solve the first issue, CC needs a more strongly worded anti-DRM clause — ideally one tied to a parallel distribution clause. To solve the second, we will ultimately need a new banner under which only truly free cultural works will reside.” — source: Dare to DReaM? by Benjamin Mako Hill

Looking at my TechTalks Tagcloud, I just discovered this talk by Mike Linksvayer (CTO of Creative Commons). In it was this unreleased 3 minute video: Wanna work together, CC promotional video to be released in november 2006 [10 MiB], Creative Commons Attribution licence 2.5. I had to extract it, convert it to ogg theora and now you can watch it too downloading only 10 MiB instead of 220 MiB for the whole hour talk.
Update: Mike posted his CC slides online, acknowledging that the text could have been bigger.
Update2: Creative Commons just released the real thing. See their blog for more info.
