<br><br>What does it mean to be open today?<br><br>CTVR / The Telecommunications Research Centre, in collaboration with<br>the Dublin Art and Technology Association (D.A.T.A) present Openhere,<br>a free four day festival that addresses social, technological and<br>
cultural issues surrounding the notion of the digital commons.<br><br>If we speak of �the commons� today as a general phenomenon, this has<br>much to do with the modes of production, consumption and distribution<br>that have emerged over the last two decades around information and<br>
communication technologies. This period has seen a growing emphasis on<br>the social and juridical implications of sharing in the online domain,<br>where a range of nonmarket and non-proprietary activities such as open<br>
source software, remix cultures and commons-based peer-production have<br>lead some to propose the advent of a �digital socialism�. However, as<br>sharing and openness become the watchwords of the new corporation - as<br>
the commons is increasingly central to capitalism - such positions are<br>no longer straightforward.<br><br>Open Here will bring together a transdisciplinary community of<br>critical theorists, engineers, artists, designers and industry<br>
professionals to expand debates surrounding the digital commons. �Key<br>points of discussion will include the conflictive spaces of the<br>digital commons, tactical media, net-art, digital policy, disruptive<br>wireless practices, alternative spectrum ownership models,<br>
next-generation networks and the political economy of infrastructure.<br><br>This festival takes the form of talks, presentations, workshops,<br>discussions and screenings. It will be held in The Science Gallery and<br>in CTVR headquarters in Trinity College from June 28th to July 1st,<br>
