COPYCAMP Returns April 29th - 30th!

AN UNCONFERENCE FOR ARTISTS ABOUT THE INTERNET AND THE CHALLENGES TO COPYRIGHT

COPYCAMP 2008, an “unconference” for artists about the Internet and the challenges to copyright is now open for registration at www.copycamp.ca.

Organized by the Creators’ Rights Alliance and held in Toronto at OISE (The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education), CopyCamp will bring 100 artists, geeks, lawmakers, and copyright activists together to explore issues surrounding new models for making art and making a living on the Internet. It continues the discussion initiated at the first CopyCamp held in September 2006.

The event kicks off on Tuesday, April 29th at 5pm with a welcome reception including a structured “World Café” conversation, to get participants talking and meeting each other. On Wednesday, April 30, the event will run all day (9-5). The day will start with a “Speed Geek” session- lightning-fast presentations on a dizzying array of related topics. The rest of the day will be spent in small self-organized sessions. Participants will collectively create the agenda for the day, and talk about the topics they are most passionate about.

When: April 29 (5-8pm) and April 30 (9am-5pm)

Where: OISE is at 252 Bloor Street West, Toronto

Registration required.
