from publication to conversation
Freiburg looked ridiculously Christmassy last weekend when I went to speak at the Schreibwares conference, a thoroughly enjoyable experience. A panel discussion including WG Sebald fan Valie Djordjevic from Berlin and Amsterdam academic Joost Smiers, caused some debate when Joost advocated scrapping copyright law entirely.
We're moving from a culture of publication to one of conversation in which some contribute tweets and comments, others fashion major texts in book form. But our legal framework is linked fundamentally to a model involving the mass distribution of stuff for passive consumers.
The model I'd like to develop through the Unlibrary involves the skills of a deal maker able to help the producers of online books/sites/things to find the best business model for their individual projects large and small, including templates for profit shares between all involved.
Please contact me if you think you might be able to advise.

Marc will be interviewing:
Two members from the University for Strategic Optimism, Tess Quixote and Étienne Lantier. USO have formed a university based on the principal of free and open education, a return of politics to the public, and the politicisation of public space.
As university buildings are boarded up their flexible and critical group physically inhabit banks and shopping outlets as public spaces for open debate; using these public areas as places for introductory lectures to their "course entitled ‘Higher Education, Neo-Liberalism and the State’." http://

Thanks to Kirsten Reach for sending us the video below. The best bit is the stretchable screen - I'd like one of those. And the toothbrushing bit is good - is the mirror powered by the toothbrushing I wonder?
