<br>
<br>
========================<br>
<br>
Remix : Culture Hacking<br>
<br>
The Remix is no longer solely the domain of the DJ. Culture is a<br>
conversation and today in the Internet age more people than ever are<br>
taking part contributing their own creative take on the sounds, images<br>
and texts that shape our world. Cheap access to digital tools and<br>
broadband means anyone can remix and publish online. Its become a part<br>
of everyday life. But this emergent culture of sharing and remixing is<br>
not without its challenges. Mashups and remixes are frequently taken<br>
down by popular websites like Youtube as a result of copyright<br>
infringement claims in effect censoring and destroying what is one of<br>
the 21st centuries most distinct and vibrant forms of counter-cultural<br>
creative expression.<br>
"Remix : Culture Hacking" brings together a diverse panel of artists,<br>
musicians, technologists and legal academics for a lively discussion<br>
and debate on the future of Remix Culture.<br>
<br>
Featuring Michel Bauwens (P2P Foundation), Benjamin Gaulon (Artist),<br>
Darius Whelan (Creative Commons Ireland), Loughlin McSweeney<br>

Flanagan.<br>
