About Economies of the Commons

De Balie in Amsterdam and the Netherlands Institute for Sound and
Vision in Hilversum, in collaboration with Knowledgeland, Images for
the Future, and Virtual Platform, organise a two-day international
public working conference on the economies, sustainability, and
opportunities for creative reuse of these public audiovisual resources
and archives.

The Economies of the Commons conference will focus on three core
issues: strategies for sustainability, new modes of value creation,
and the potentials for creative reuse around the digital commons. Our
main questions are:
- What kinds of strategies are available to facilitate the growth of
these emerging public knowledge resources, and guarantee their longer-
term sustainability?
- How is value created around the emerging digital commons, and how
can this value be capitalised on for the public good?
- How can these resources be activated as a creative productive force
for contemporary culture, and how can the reuse of these enormously
rich resources be facilitated and stimulated?

The conference brings together a highly international group of
specialists, including Peter Kaufman (Intelligent Television), Rick
Prelinger (Prelinger Archives), Roei Amit (INA), Kenneth Goldsmith
(UbuWeb), Anthony McCann (Hallam University), Hubert Best (Best &
Soames / FOCAL), Lucie Guibault (University of Amsterdam), Florian
Schneider (Kein.tv) David Bollier (On The Commons), and many others.

The Economies of the Commons conference addresses a range of target
groups that do not regularly meet each other. These include:
(broadcast) media professionals, representatives from cultural
heritage organisations, internet entrepreneurs, ethnomusicologists,
musicians and representatives of the music industry, media activists,
researchers in the domains of internet law, economy, information
science, p2p file sharing activists, policy makers, and professionals
from the field of art and culture.

A web dossier has been set up that provides further information on the
conference program and side events, program updates, and information
on speakers and highlighted case studies, as well as general
background and research materials. This dossier can be found at:
