Brainstorm

The following ideas are taken from the thread on the mailing list.

• I could imagine that a workshop which explores the options art has in a political process under an Oekonux perspective would make much sense.

  For this I'd think it would make sense to have two parts: In the first part we explain some central Oekonux ideas. I think this is necessary because only then we can assume some common understanding among the participants. In a second part we then discuss how these ideas can relate to art.

• This could include the position of the "author" which could be a very good angle (this is important in the art world)

• Also I'd think the copyright / licenses topic could be interesting because this is also something which all information goods have in common.

  A third point could be the creative nature of writing Free Software. In Oekonux this would probably be subsumed under Selbstentfaltung.

  Ahm - the Free Art in Brazil and other South American countries could also be an interesting topic. However, I don't feel like being expert enough on this special topic to talk about it .

• But writing software as a creative process and the relationship to artistic working - which probably is seen as the way to creativity - seems to me the most interesting point.

  Also the topic about payed art and Doubly Free art seems rather interesting to me.

• Could we extend the focus on 'authorship' in such a way that it is combined with the question: Ownership?

  It is possible to engage 'ownership' in at least two directions - either as 'valuable object' or as 'valuable relations', which leads fairly quickly to a more critical look at capitalism and so forth (which seems to be one of the major interests of the the K9Lab) ...
