Kyberia guild vs Facebook matrix
Daniel Hromada (Hromi) and Pavel Neuman

Hromi: “Give me one reason why I should register on Facebook.”
After short presentation of specific features of social media and nets there will be moderated discussion between Daniel Hromada (Hromi) who has a very skeptical attitude against Facebook and Pavel Neumann, an expert on social media, who represents a defender of current social phenomenon.
Hromi is a creator of legendary social network Kyberia.sk that has connected nonconformistly thinking people, from hackers to artists, already for several years. The author’s reserved attitude to the social nets is mainly related to the last developmental version of Kyberia - 2.3 that was not successful in its efforts to state a certain new model of the Internet democracy.
On the contrary, Hromi´s opponent, Pavel Neuman, who dedicates himself to these trends on web and whose texts are presented on the blog BuzzMag, he considers this kind of closed society pseudo-activism. “One of the significant features (of web 2.0 services) is that their utility value does not grow with the number of users hence it is not possible to compare Kyberia with Facebook“, Neuman says.

This moderated discussion will be held within the festival Multiplace. The bloc of lectures at 18:00 will be opened by Michal Cáb and the theme will be Fluxus/pd/livecoding. Palo Fabuš will follow and he will clarify us his theme in his lecture Me, We and They: Communication and Liability in Today’s society.

———————————-
13:00-14:15 Journalistic panel
———————————-

Patrick Zandl –an Internet businessman, founder of the information server Mobil.cz, and editor in chief of the portal Lupa.cz
Significance of CC for information freedom

He will speak about the influence of the idea of open and shared sources on information freedom and about the importance of evident and synoptic licensing of works.
———————————-
Pavel Klusák – a music journalist, screen writer and translator

Creative Commons between mainstream and underground
Representatives of mainstream culture often play with Creative Commons license – mainly as a feature of independent and trendy “fresh” young attitude that uses as a marketing and image instrument.
———————————-
Adam Hazdra – he deals with innovation and product management. He is a contributor on the independent blog BuzzMag (buzzmag.cz).

Translation Free Culture
Adam Hazdra introduces noncommercial open-source translation of book Free Culture that is under way on working wiki server Root.cz. He explains more main ideas of the book and shows why it is important to deal with this book.
———————————-
14:30-16:00 Creative Commons panel
———————————-
Paul Keller is a copyright specialist working for the Dutch independent think-tank knowledgeland. He is Public Project Lead for Creative Commons Netherlands and Chairman of the Board of iCommons and international organisation promoting and advocating the use of open content and free software.

Between Creative Commons and Collective Rights management organisations
In my presentation ‘Coming to terms with collective rights management - the example of Creative Commons NL’ i will outline the relationship between Creative Commons and Collective Rights management organisations. Traditionally Creative Commons and Collective rights management organizations hava had a difficult relationship that prevents members of some Collective Rights Management Organisation in the field of music to use Creative Commons licenses that has as a consequence limited the appeal of CC licenties for professional musicians. Creative Commons Netherlands has had to deal with this situation since its launch in june 2004 and over the years we have worked with the Dutch Collecting Society Buma/Stemra to allow their members to use Creative Commons Licenses. In August 2007 Creative Commons Netherlands and Buma/stemra launched a pilot project that is currently under evaluation. The presentation will focus on the structure of and the lessons learned from this collaboration
———————————-
Petr Kadlec – works as an administrator of Czech Wikipedia. He is also a member of a civic association Wikimedia ČR.

Transformation of Wikipedia on Creative Commons license
Wikimedia pass over to the license of Creative Commons Attribution Share-alike (CC-BY-SA). The author explains why right this license has been chosen and summarizes the current state and expected further process of transformation.
———————————-
Martin Čechura – a long-time member of soundsystem AKA.IO, one of the founding members of SNA, one of the administrators of the Internet radio Radia23.cz

Creative Commons on the Internet radio Radio23.cz
Since 2004 Radio23.cz has broadcast mainly the music of the authors that are not represented by collective administrators of Copyright rights. Creative Commons license will be an appropriate instrument that will clear the copyright relationships. Radio administrators prepare for the composers and musicians an introduction of CC license within their own project of the Internet radio.
———————————-

About Creative Commons licenses:
On one side, the access to the authors´ works is easier especially thanks to the Internet, but on the other, this brings a very complicated legislation in favor of the holders of copyright rights. A person often occurs in a situation when he approaches a work under legal uncertainty. Consequently, there is a need to declare clearly conditions under which the published authorial work could be treated.

Creative Commons Licenses (CC) are based on a simple idea: the author himself makes decision under which conditions he will publish his work. Through licenses he determines these conditions. Moreover, the use of CC license has impact in the area of sharing, reusing and remixing of works in accordance with valid legislation, which also reflects in the creation of better conditions for creative activities of everybody.

RoboAktivismus

Robot jako médium společensky kritických postojů a subverzivních uměleckých strategií.
Rossum's Universal Robots jako sociálně-kritická metafora. Robotické umění jako underground mediálního umění (aneb software kontra hardware). Aktuální metamorfózy robota jako média společensky kritických postojů a strategií narušujících dominantní diskurz.

Jan Zálešák /CZ
Ukazovat spolupráci
Sémiotické a institucionální aspekty kolaborativního a participatorního umění

Proč je spolupráce v současném výtvarném umění tak silné téma? Co umožňuje, aby různé formy spolupráce mezi umělci, ale i mezi „obyčejnými lidmi“ byly vnímány jako součást světa umění? Kudy vede hranice mezi společným jednáním jako uměleckou formou, a holým životem (případně pedagogikou, sociální službou nebo politickým aktivismem)? Přednáška se pokusí představit základní rámec uvažování o kolaborativním a participačním umění podložený příklady konkrétních projektů české i zahraniční provenience.

Volunteer to be a ghost in the shell!? Alienation, robotomies and virtualisation of our lives aren't just coming to a theater near you, they're all here in pre-dreamed guinea pig beta! As a culture passes the mechanical world and simulation threshold, we not only exist more inside the mediated landscape than outside it, we permit a severe mutation and reversal of body and function, such that the ubiquitous prosthetic technotopia does not quite enable communities, but shapes them for smoother corporate automation, control, expansion, atomization, extraction, and excessive waste. The domination of the machine we feared is not exactly a machine nor even a Big Brother, but our own lives pumped out as an efficient and metastasizing network reducing each of us to our utility, our parts, our data-yield, our consumer profiles. Bots, Wormholes, Kaleidescope Trojans, Virtual Bürgers and Radical Flesh Collide! Technology on the edge, junk food and junk technology on the periphery, new world disorder front and center. When the discontent gather in cyberspace, who sponsors the avatars? Whose code pulls the strings? Can you afford to be real?

Breakcore jako svébytná hudební forma začal vznikat přibližně v polovině devadesátých let na evropském kontinentě, sousledně se svým mladším bratrem známým pod názvem digital hardcore. Představitelé obou těchto žánrů, kteří původně vyrůstali z hardcore/punkových kořenů a následně brázdili vody undergroundového industriálního techna, se začali zásadně vymezovat vůči směru, kterým se začala elektronická taneční scéna ubírat. Začali vracet do scény témata, která se vytratila s návalem komerčního balastu - politickou angažovanost, hudební progresi, formální propracovanost - a aplikovali je do tehdejších jungle/drum'n'bassových formulí, modifikovaných o radikální experimenty se zvukem a hlukem. Postupně z něho vznikl svébytný žánr charakterizovaný extrémně rychlým tempem, velmi precizním zvukovým inženýrstvím, komplikovanými melodickými a rytmickými frázemi a inteligentní kompozicí. V současné době breakcore v podstatě opustil kontext rekreační taneční hudby a tvoří samostatnou hudební větev na pomezí elektronické hudby, industriálu, IDM a konceptuálního umění, přičemž v něm lze vystopovat dva základní přístupy, které se často (i když velmi nerady) prolínají - akademický a undergroundový. Večer Breakcore III. reprezentuje především radikální podobu žánru - druhou ze jmenovaných - jež získala v českých luzích a hájích silné zastoupení, především skrze nejrůznější open-air free-party a festivaly na půdě autonomních center a squatů.

SHARE is an organization dedicated to supporting collaboration and knowledge exchange in new media communities. Local SHARE groups hold free, open jams and workshops in their communities. Participants bring their portable equipment, plug into our system, improvise on each others' signal and perform live audio and video. SHARE furnishes the amplification and projection. SHARE happens weekly to monthly in cities around the world. Please bring with you your audio and video instruments, computers, cables and anything else you would like to SHARE so that you can participate. More info at:
http://share.dj
http://roguewaves.net

Short interview with Elsa Vieira, the organiser:

1. What is the Share story? Who are the people behind Share? And how come you all come to Prague?! :)

Share is an open jam, not just for digirati, but for all new culture lovers. Participants bring their portable equipment, plug into our system, improvise on each others' signal and perform live audio and video. Our volunteer organizers furnish the amplification and projection. Share was founded in 2001 in NYC by Barry Manalog, geoffGDAM and Newclueless and provides an open forum, in real life, for data exchange and media performance. Patrons are encouraged to show and exchange ideas freely, giving each other feedback, catalyzing development of techniques and philosophies in new media. Share, which currently has a presence in many cities worldwide, has already been in Prague and so there is a precedent for this incarnation. Basically, Elsa Vieira, one of the NYC volunteer organizers, met up with Milos Vojtechovsky of iim and Skolska gallery (one of the original founders of SHARE.TAZ in Prague)a few months ago when she was in Prague and Milos suggested she also meet Magde Kobzova of Multiplace. It was this meeting with Magde that sowed the seeds for the current SHARE Media Cirkus event as part of the Multiplace Festival. And by the way, the "Media Cirkus" part of the name was not my idea, but was suggested by Martin Janícek, another artist I met in Prague on one of my visits, when he found out it was to be held in a tent. http://share.dj


2. Share is about open participation in order to bring together different creative communities. Some people can find it not that easy just to come, plug in, and immediately play together with 'strangers'. How does it work in practise?

In practice, that is the whole point; the openness to relate to a complete "stranger" as you say, in a temporary, free creative zone. No-one is forced to participate but no-one is ever turned away either; it is completely voluntary, so that if someone does not feel comfortable playing with others in this setting, then that person does have to not participate...it is really about self-regulation and self-determination while at the same time watching and listening to the others around you and trying to create a space together; whether that means participating as a "player" or just being a part of the group by sharing ideas, etc.


3. What role does the audience, the public play for you in Share?

Well, there really is no "audience" per se in the traditional sense of the word. We try to minimize as much as possible the division between "artist" and "public". There is no stage and sometimes it is really difficult to know who is doing what. The guy with the laptop and the intense gaze at his screen may be only checking his email, while the woman engaged in a lively conversation with someone else near the bar, may have her patch going on her computer and so is actually one of the people "playing". The idea is that we are all equal elements of the group; whether it is a temporary or ongoing community. Everyone plays their part when and how they wish, and pretty much determines their own role in the group...there is no-one to say hey, you do/are this and you are not/do not do this...you decide for yourself who you are and what you do - I would hope people would always approach this with some degree of respect for the others around.
