Slightly off-topic but hopefully of interest: -- petef Begin forwarded message: The Art + Politics of P2P 24 March, 19.00 Arnolfini, Bristol, UK FREE Michel Bauwens Respondents: Matthew Fuller and Olga Goriunova The presentation introduces the work of the Foundation for Peer-to- Peer Alternatives - a clearing house for open/free, participatory/p2p and commons-oriented initiatives. The interest is in how P2P networks challenge hierarchical server-client relations and provide an alternative organisational principle for understanding cultural production and the creation of value. In discussion we aim to explore the potential of this way of thinking to re-energise the production of art following the principle that emergent and radical arts practices can be found in social energies not yet recognised as art. http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/about Michel Bauwens is an active writer, researcher and conference speaker on the subject of technology, culture and business innovation. He is the founder of the Foundation for Peer-to-Peer Alternatives and works in collaboration with a global group of researchers in the exploration of peer production, governance, and property.
