I gave presentation last connecting up my artistic/creative trajectory, involvements with Open Source, Open Content, Creative Commons, on into new projects, exemplified through Cantocore (at present). Thanks to all who came out, watched some of the pixellated videos I presented, and laughed at a few of my bad jokes

A big super thanks to Pat and Gwen for having me speak at the well-respected Electromediascope program. Also, please check out Mark Daggett’s work. He presented the week prior and his presentation sounded much more high-level and put together than my open diatribes. He held me accountable on a few topics I’ve become lazy about differentiating like the diffs between Free Software and Open Source, and Open Content.

Here is the slide show:

While in SF and BoCoMo (Boone County, Columbia, Missouri), I have been mulling many ideas and plans over deeply. After I get back to Guangzhou in time for the Cantocore Export Opening (and then onto Beijing), I am going to be doing some internal code review, drop some files on the floor, and churn out more writing. I’ve been spending massive time in the applied arts, and not so much in more theoretical and pure research. Don’t worry, I’m not going to spin out in “prep” mode or anything. It is just a good time to clean house

Oh, and I forgot to give a summary of my talk last night: I build remix communities which make systems for producing objects. Currently, I’m making cultural remixes.
