Convening participants across a wide range of professions and experience, this panel explores the aesthetic and political possibilities afforded by different open source systems. Panelists examine sites like Wikipedia and Digg.com, as well as p2p networks and social networking sites. They also explore offline artwork, arts institutions, and businesses that have sought to adopt open source models and current challenges to its continuation such as corporate attempts to undermine “net neutrality.” Panelists include Daniel Mayer, co-founder, Wikipedia; Cory Arcangel, artist; and Joy Garnett, artist; and Laura Quilter, founder, Fair Use Network. Moderated by Christiane Paul, adjunct curator of New Media Arts, Whitney Museum of American Art. This event is as part of the Vera List Center’s program cycle on The Public Domain and is co-sponsored by Rhizome.org, as part Rhizome’s tenth anniversary festival.Â
