Hey all, I wanted to alert you to a panel I'm on next week in San
Francisco. Needless to say it is going to be major PR in the art world
for Inkscape and Open Clip Art Library. If anyone is in the area, it
would be a great event to attend. I'm also excited because the number 2
person at creativecommons (under lessig) is on the panel.
Please forward the following PR below:

On Thursday, November 18, 2004, SFMOMA (www.sfmoma.org) presents:
The Open-Source Paradigm
========================
A Panel Discussion & Reception
Moderated by Linda Jacobson, featuring new media professor Greg Niemeyer
(http://art.berkeley.edu/niemeyer/) from UC Berkeley, artist-developer
Jon Phillips (www.rejon.org), and Creative Commons
(www.creativecommons.org) assistant director Neeru Paharia.
7:00 p.m. in the Phyllis Wattis Theater
Visual artists and sound artists who create with digital tools have
started to embrace the community-based, open-source software approach
that's revolutionized the computer industry. As a reaction to the
restrictions of intellectual property rights, the Open Source Initiative
provides free computer software via the Web and allows anyone to
contribute software as long as the underlying source codes are visible
and shared. Explorations of the creative applications of open-source
promise to expand its use beyond software development. This panel
discusses the conceptual basis for the open-source movement in the arts,
its history, and legal issues and presents artistic projects
incorporating open-source technology. A reception in The Schwab Room
follows the program.
$12 general; $8 SFMOMA members, students with ID, and seniors. Tickets
are available at SFMOMA (with no surcharge) or online.
This event is presented in collaboration with SMAC (San Francisco Media
Arts Council).

event on videogames' impact on artists featuring pioneers Will Wright
and Nolan Bushnell
