(Professor Norbert Szyperski at Wizards of OS 1) Free software has proven that freedom, openness and community work. And it has proven this in the very area of technology that forms the core of the digital "knowledge society" and, as such, is the battlefield for fierce competition. It appears entirely improbable that, in a market built up over thirty years by large companies such as Microsoft, Sun and IBM, loosely organized groups of free developers could attain a market share of 60 percent. The fact that this improbability has become a reality makes it one of the great confrontations of the late 20th century. In the meantime, free computer programs such as GNU/Linux and Apache have long since proven their quality and one can legally refer to Microsoft as a monopoly. It has grown quieter around the long battle between David and Goliath. What we will nevertheless be dealing with for years to come is the loss of credibility for proprietary industrial production and distribution of intellectual goods as well as the growing respect for the alternative: a free and open cooperation of collective intelligence. As Richard Stallman, one of the founders and evangelists of the movement often says, it's not about software; it's about the kind of society we want to live in. Wizards of OS 2 -- like WOS 1 in July 1999 -- will focus on free software as a starting point. From there, we can begin to ask: What sort of light can it shed on knowledge systems as a whole? What new tools are being developed to support open cooperation? What are the effects of various forms of "intellectual property" such as copyrights and patents? What impact do they have on the management of economic information, on the intellectual practice of private individuals and on the exchange between north and south? Grassroots communities are collectively writing encyclopedias, teaching materials and music. But what about the public knowledge in libraries and archives, in education, in peer-to-peer exchanges in various fields of research, in public broadcasting and in the management of government? After one and a half centuries in which the author and the cult of genius have shaped the ways in which we deal with knowledge, a new collective intelligence is rapidly emerging. In what ways does the infrastructure of knowledge have to change in order to optimally support it? WOS 2 addresses people working on the same problems and, instead of competing with each other, creating open communities, exchanging the results of their discoveries, learning from each other and, together, creating something bigger than the sum of its parts. It was the threat of a general trend toward increasing control on the part of the knowledge industry that made visible the full extent of the revolution free software represents. ### MAIN TOPICS ### Only a small selection of the topics to be addressed during WOS 2 in lectures, panels, tutorials, artistic events and informal discussions can be listed here. You can see the full current program here: http://mikro.org/Events/OS/wos2/topics.html An ongoing, updated list of speakers can be found here: http://mikro.org/Events/OS/wos2/speakers.html *** Free Software *** When IBM sought to attain a license for the free Web server Apache in 1998, the company couldn't even find anyone authorized to discuss a possible contract. Today, hardware and software companies have set up their own Open Source departments. BRUCE PERENS (Open Source Strategy Advisor for Hewlett Packard) and TOM SCHWALLER (founder of Linux Magazin and a Linux Enterprise Specialist at IBM) both come from the free movement and are currently employed by large companies. GEORG GREVE (President of the Free Software Foundation Europe) aims to establish a free software business model in Europe. They will discuss the current relationship between a free social movement and large companies. In a knowledge environment supported by software, it is the elements of the design of programs that aide social processes of exchange. Napster made peer-to-peer protocols famous. ERIK MOELLER, who knows more about the P2P world than anyone in Germany, sees a genuine media revolution in P2P journalism and has put together a panel of three leading developers and maintainers of such self-organized news Web sites. Content Management Systems (CMS) help editors and communities gather and publish their information together. HERBERT A. MEYER (artop Institute, Humboldt University in Berlin) will moderate the panel during which eight selected free CMS projects will be introduced and examined to determine their usability. It has become clear that software is also of great cultural import. But why is it that a "software criticism" comparable to that of film or literature has not emerged? London theorist, artist and activist MATTHEW FULLER has put together a panel from the field of cultural studies, including MAURIZIO LAZZARATO, a researcher on communication, information technologies and immaterial labor who lives in Paris. No conference on software-based infrastructures can ignore the issues of security and privacy. A guest panel organized by the Heinrich Boell Foundation will address current issues arising from the introduction of the "digital signature". *** "Intellectual Property" *** "Intellectual property is the legal form of the information society," writes law scholar Jamie Boyle. So philosophies of freedom are these days no longer nailed to church doors or announced by town callers from the castle tower, but instead take on the form of licenses, that is, contractual agreements regarding copyright. Against a background of the current discussion regarding the introduction of software patents in Europe, WOS 2 will examine their impact on business practices. FRITZ TEUFEL (Manager of the Intellectual Property Department of IBM Germany) will report on the experiences of a company that secures most of its income via license fees. DANIEL PROBST (Political Economist, Mannheim University) will shed light on the sense and nonsense of software patents from the standpoint of the political economy. A representative from the Frauenhofer Institute for System Technology and Innovation Research will present the previously unpublished results of a BMWi study on the use of patents in German software companies. TILL KREUTZER (Junior Lawyer at the copyright law firm Kukuk, Hamburg) and LAWRENCE LESSIG (Cyberlaw Expert, Stanford University) will discuss the recent EU Copyright Directive and its consequences on the open exchange of knowledge and public access. The anthropologist CHRISTOPHER KELTY of Rice University in Houston has organized two panels on the edgy relationship between free science and the industry it supports as well as on the marketing of knowledge in the first world and biodiversity in the third. Central themes of both panels are the contentious fields of biotechnology and genetic engineering. *** Public Knowledge *** Education and research in schools and universities and the collections of knowledge in libraries, museums and archives have so far been seen as resources off limits to competition and available to anyone. The German Constitutional Court has ruled that public broadcasters are bound to provide "fundamental informational needs." Most believe that government should be transparent. At the same time, the pressures of empty public coffers and the lure of a global educational and knowledge market would appear to be opening the door to the commercial exploitation of public knowledge as a way out. But at what price to society? These questions are to be posed during the course of six panels by, among others, INGO RUHMANN (Project Leader for Schulnetz / IT WORKS, part of the Federal Ministry for Education and Research initiative Schools on the Net), THOMAS KRÜGER (President of the Federal Office for Political Education), HANSJÜRGEN GARSTKA (Privacy and Information Access Commissioner of the State of Berlin) and BRIGITTE ZYPRIES (Under Secretary at the Federal Ministry of the Interior, in charge of the eGovernment projects of the Federal Government). The head of the public network ARD, FRITZ PLEITGEN, has also been invited. *** Open Infrastructures *** The foundations and infrastructures of the current order of knowledge systems are the focus of the fourth major theme of the conference. Standards serve the interoperability of people, machines and knowledge. The question arises here, too, as to how open or closed they are. Money is also a cultural convention, enabling processes of exchange among people. What would money that approaches the open exchange of free software look like? The question is at the center of a the panel "Open_Money", organized by FELIX STALDER (University of Toronto) and including KEITH HART (anthropologist and author of _The Memory Bank: Money in an Unequal World_) and MICHAEL LINTON (inventor of the LETS [Local Exchange Trading Systems] concept known in Germany as "Tauschringe" and an organizer of the Japanese project Openmoney.org). Free software is an example of the quality of collective intelligence, flying in the face of the common misconception that the highly complex questions of our time can only be addressed and answered by a few experts. A panel of representatives from a wide variety of disciplines examines the phenomenon. Participants include REINHARD DOEHL (theoretician and practitioner of intermedial and collaborative poetry), BRIAN McCONNELL (SETI@Home, San Francisco) and THOMAS MACHO (Professor of Cultural Studies at Humboldt University in Berlin). Finally, contemporary grand visions of a free society are to be presented. Among them are the GPL Society, introduced by STEFAN MERETZ and STEFAN MERTEN (both co-founders of oekonux.de) and the New Associationist Movement in Japan, presented by KENTA OHJI (currently teaching at the Sorbonne in Paris). ### CONFERENCE ### The three day conference Wizards of OS 2 addresses a broad audience interested in digital media culture and the future of the knowledge society. It will bring together about 50 German and international speakers and up to 1000 participants from a variety of fields including information technology, biotechnology, law, art, cultural studies, economics and politics. The languages of the conference are English and German. The main events will be simultaneously translated. Even before the conference, there will be a WOS panel at BerlinBETA on August 31st. Under the titel "Free Software Metropolis Berlin?", representatives from Berlin companies building their business modell on free software will be speaking about bridging the gap between movement and busines. Speakers are ANDREAS BOGK (Head of Research & Development, Convergence integrated media GmbH, Berlin), SEBASTIAN HETZE (Chair, Linux Information Systems AG, Berlin), STEPHAN RIEDEL (Managing Director, Cluster Labs GmbH, Berlin), a representative of the Berlin Senate for Economics and VOLKER GRASSMUCK (Wizards of OS). ### CONTACTS ### Press accreditation without forms via presse@wizards-of-os.org.

Hall" <jrhall@ucdavis.edu> Subject: Visual Worlds conference announcement Visual Worlds / An Interdisciplinary Conference 26 - 28 October 2001 [Image]For conference information, preliminary program, registration, and other information, go directly to the conference site, http://chsc.ucdavis.edu/visualworlds.html The UC Davis Center for History, Society, and Culture (CHSC) announces a major interdisciplinary conference, Visual Worlds, to be held at the UC Davis campus, Friday, October 26 through Sunday, October 28, 2001. Our premise is that social worlds—groups of people bound together by shared norms and practices—are not only reflected in but also shaped by visual conventions. Art historian Erwin Panofsky famously explained how Renaissance linear perspective operated as a “symbolic form” that helped organize the social understanding of a new socioeconomic order. The central premise of Visual Worlds is that today newly emergent visual forms are similarly having wide-ranging social, economic, and political consequences. Visual expression is of particular importance now because it facilitates cross-cultural communication occurring with globalization and serves as a catalyst for transforming information into a commodity, and hence, for the development of the “New Economy.” Featured conference speakers include sociologists Darnell Hunt, Marshall Battani, and Robin Wagner-Pacifici; cultural critics Lauren Berlant, Jennifer Gonzalez, Constance Penley and Jon Lapointe; artists Mary Kelly, ®tMark, Andrea Fraser and Allan Sekula, and intellectual historian Martin Jay. Conference artists will be featured at a concurrent exhibition at the UC Davis Nelson Art Gallery and Fine Arts Collection. Conference is free but pre-registration is required.

I'd be happy to edit the announcement to meet your specifications. Please let me know whether or not you will be able to use the announcement. Thank you! Best, Jud I thought readers of the Nettime List might be interested in this book. For more information please visit http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/item/default.asp?sid=B37FD3FE-0FA5-461E-8119-D94C1B50363B&ttype=2&tid=4196 Crypto Anarchy, Cyberstates, and Pirate Utopias edited by Peter Ludlow In Crypto Anarchy, Cyberstates, and Pirate Utopias, Peter Ludlow extends the approach he used in High Noon on the Electronic Frontier, offering a collection of writings that reflects the eclectic nature of the online world, as well as its tremendous energy and creativity. This time the subject is the emergence of governance structures within online communities and the visions of political sovereignty shaping some of those communities. Ludlow views virtual communities as laboratories for conducting experiments in the construction of new societies and governance structures. While many online experiments will fail, Ludlow argues that given the synergy of the online world, new and superior governance structures may emerge. Indeed, utopian visions are not out of place, provided that we understand the new utopias to be fleeting localized "islands in the Net" and not permanent institutions. The book is organized in five sections. The first section considers the sovereignty of the Internet. The second section asks how widespread access to resources such as Pretty Good Privacy and anonymous remailers allows the possibility of "Crypto Anarchy"--essentially carving out space for activities that lie outside the purview of nation states and other traditional powers. The third section shows how the growth of e-commerce is raising questions of legal jurisdiction and taxation for which the geographic boundaries of nation-states are obsolete. The fourth section looks at specific experimental governance structures evolved by online communities. The fifth section considers utopian and anti-utopian visions for cyberspace. Peter Ludlow is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Contributors Richard Barbrook, John Perry Barlow, William E. Baugh Jr., David S.

August 18 - September 2, 2001 The Banff Centre for the Arts, Banff, Canada HWLA (Hot Wired Live Art) is an artist worklab model that uses the live environment of the lab to create social network and performance prototypes from a diverse mix of technical and non-technical materials and activities. The HWLA network is an international and interdisciplinary group of artists, technologists and researchers with a combined range of skills and technical expertise in electronics, streaming media, sensors, physical (social) space design, wireless technology, live video and audio processing, software programming, telepresence, dance, theatre, film and video art. The aim of the worklab is to connect or network these materials and artists together to create live collaborative performance scenarios that use technology, but are not about the technology itself. For two weeks 11 artists from Canada and different parts of Europe will set up the second HWLA international worklab (HWLA2 - Airwaves) at The Banff Centre for the Arts. The first HWLA worklab, initiated by Amanda Steggell and Per Platou of Motherboard and in collaboration with the Bergen Centre for Electronic Art (BEK) took place from Jan 4 - 16, 2000 in Bergen, Norway. HWLA 2 - Airwaves will tap into a diverse pool of knowledge provided by the artists involved with a focus on non-screen based interfaces and/or situations, being cable free, the lab as a social space, networked and live systems, how we define networks and explore meeting spaces including the physical and the virtual. By setting up the HWLA creative worklab and through the process of collective play, we research the social and artistic applications of these technologies while generating a discourse around these issues. Platforms like KeyStroke, Nato 0+55, Max, QuickTime and RealVideo streaming, iListen, BigEye, Image/ine and vns will be used with physical materials and props, pdas, wireless video transmitters, sensors, a wireless LAN, servo motors, syncronized swimming and tai chi. The HWLA2 website (http://beagle.waag.org/~hwla2) will function during the worklab as a live lab space with real-time schedule updates, comments by the participants, and documentation by Scott delaHunta. We will be periodically streaming out and posting live video and audio packets during the lab. The group will also be presenting at The Human Generosity conference, August 26-28 at The Banff Centre. Please watch for upcoming announcements of these events. ******************************************** http://beagle.waag.org/~hwla2 Produced in co-production with The Banff Centre for the Arts Banff, Alberta, Canada for Banff: Executive Producer, Television and New Media, Sara Diamond.
