>i-DAT/Submerge would like to invite you to EXPLOITING POTENTIAL, a free
>symposium on intellectual property and digital production, taking place on
>1st July 2005, 10am - 4pm, at Submerge, L Shed, Industrial Museum, Bristol,
>BS1 4RN, UK.
>
>Issues around intellectual property are a key concern for digital artists
>and designers. They reveal a range of tensions between the idealism of work
>entering the public domain and the pragmatics of making a living. On the one
>hand, there is the principle that creativity and innovation thrives from the
>sharing of ideas and material, and on the other, that laws are necessary to
>protect individual and collective interests.
>
>This informal symposium aims to examine these ideas and to challenge
>existing structures and practices for those working at the intersections of
>commerce, research and independent production.
>
>Presentations by Prodromos Tsiavos (Creative Commons), Margaret Briffa
>(Own-it), Ian 'Cutswift' Edgar (Eclectic Method), Hugo de Rijke (i-DAT),
>George Grinsted, Chris O'Shea, Dominica Williamson, Grzesiek Sedek, Daniel
>James, Ulrike Brückner & Sabine Meyer.
