Slides from ACIA and Asia Commons Conference in Taiwan

Updated January 19, 2008 @ 4:11 am

Quickly, here are the slides from my two different presentations. I had about 10 minutes on the panel to present the entire mouthfull below in hopes to scale up discussion:

Making Creative Commons Common in Asia (and Outward)

The VT Art Salon went quite well with several local artists coming out and presenting under the umbrella of Media Exchange 2 (like early Media Exchange). I talked about how no art production is simply an author sitting in a room drawing circles all day without input from the world (figuratively) and then proceeded to present Overlap.org, Fabricatorz, and the soon-to-re-released, Scalejournal.org.

Collaborative Models of Art Production, or Dispelling the Myths of Sole Authorship

Thanks to Christopher Adams and Sophie for setting up the VT Art Salon and to Tyng-Ruey Chuang for setting up the ACIA Commons conference and getting me here :)

ACIA Commons and VT Art Salon in Taipei Today

Updated January 18, 2008 @ 3:21 am

I’m presenting about Overlap.org, Fabricatorz.com and the soon to be updated Scalejournal.org under the umbrella, “Models of Collaborative Art Production, or Dispelling the Myths of Sole Authorship”.

Tomorrow I’m presenting about, Making Creative Commons Common in Asia: Effectively scaling Creative Commons community and business development strategies internationally in 2008 at ACIA: Asia and Commons in the Information Age at Academia Sinica in Taipei. Come on out if you are in the area! The entire conference will be brilliant. Tyng-Ruey never dissappoints.

Lu posted on here blog here about Taipei Tomorrow! 台北,明天出发!:

We are heading to Taipei tomorrow. In this five days trip, we will attend ACIA (Internationl Workshop on Asia and Commons in the Information Age) 資訊時代之亞洲與公眾創用國際研討會. On Friday night January 18, Jon Phillips, Christopher Adams, Wang Chunyan and I will be hosting Media Exchange 2 at VT Art Salon. Media Exchange 1 took place last winter, with a big group of artists and students lead by our artist friend Huang Xiaopeng in the new mega university town of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts campus. The initiative of the event was to present and discuss projects. Now it’s already one year! So to me it will be an “annual report” on my work.

Here is more information on Media Exchange 2. Sorry it’s a last minute call. But if you are in Taipei. Show up with your friends or your work!
