RIP: A Remix Manifesto poster
Date: 30 October 2010
Time: 15.00 - 17.30
Venue: Arts Picturehouse, Cambridge. Tickets available from the Arts Picturehouse ticket counter.

Screening followed by a panel discussion with Bill Thompson, John Naughton, Becky Hogge, Geoff Gamlen and Jussi Parikka.

In RIP: A Remix Manifesto, Web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor explores issues of copyright in the information age, mashing up the media landscape of the 20th century and shattering the wall between users and producers.

The screening was followed by a panel discussion with some of the leading technology writers including:

Bill Thompson (technology writer and columnist for the BBC Online, as well as head of partnership development for Archive Development projects at the BBC)
John Naughton (academic at Cambridge University, author of 'A Brief History of the Future: Origins of the Internet' and columnist for the Observer),
Becky Hogge (technology writer, columnist for the New Statesman and the first full-time executive director of the Open Rights Group),
Jussi Parikka (media theorist and director of the CoDE-institute at ARU)
Geoff Gamlen (a founding member of the remix-music/video group Eclectic Method, who have been called upon by artists like Fatboy Slim and U2, and by film, video, and television companies such as New Line Cinema and Palm Pictures to create custom audio-visual remixes).

The panelists addressed the themes raised by 'RIP: Remix Manifesto' and a range of interesting and provocative approaches to cultural production in the digital age, copyright and its alternatives, and free culture.
