Subject: Privacy Lecture Series - Pamela Samuelson, Jan. 17, 2002
[The Privacy Lecture Series re-starts this coming week with a talk by
Pamela Samuelson, one of the most renowed cyber-rights advocate in the U.S.
Pamela's work in the sphere of copyright and intellectual property (IP),
defending basic individual rights against advances by powerful
corporations, has made her internationally aclaimed. This lecture will
bring together the issues of privacy and intellectual property.
Check the date and time below. The location is the same as last term. Best.

PRIVACY LECTURE SERIES
<http://privacy.openflows.org>
PAMELA SAMUELSON
PRIVACY DIMENSIONS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Thursday, January 17, 2002
6:45-8:00PM
140 St. George, Room 728
Faculty of Information Studies (building adjacent to Robarts Library)
University of Toronto
The lectures are free of charge and you do NOT have to register.
Abstract
As the content industries expand the scope of intellectual property (IP)
and the technological means for enforcement, important other social values
are negatively affected such as freedom of speech, freedom of research and
privacy. In this talk Pam Samuelson, will focus on the right to privacy and
how it is affected by the emerging new copyright regime, for instance, how
do we balance individuals' right control their private sphere with
corporate rights to control their property and combat piracy? Are new
systems, which force users to license content and to establish a permanent
relation with the right holders, for example in Windows XP, an intrusion
into the user's private sphere? Can the issue of privacy be used to fight
the seemingly limitless expansion of rights of IP holders?
Bio
Pamela Samuelson is a Professor at the University of California at Berkeley
with a joint appointment in the School of Information Management and
Systems and the School of Law. She is also Director of the Berkeley Center
for Law and Technology. Her principal area of expertise is intellectual

that new information technologies are posing for public policy and
traditional legal regimes and is an advisor for the Samuelson Law,
Technology and Public Policy Clinic.
In 1997, Samuelson was named a fellow of the John D. & Catherine T.
MacArthur Foundation. In 1998, she was recognized by the National Law
Journal as being among the 50 most influential female lawyers in the
country and among the eight most influential in Northern California. She
was recently elected to membership in the American Law Institute and named
a fellow of the Association of Computing Machinery. In 2001, she was
appointed to a UC Berkeley Chancellor's Professorship for distinguished
research, teaching and service for her contributions to both Boalt Hall and
the School of Information Management and Systems.

practice including cultural criticism, artistic, curatorial an
entrepreneural practice.
Speakers include Sally Jane Norman, Jeremy Valentine, Josephine Bosma,
Jordan Crandall, Neil Cummings,Marysia Lewandowska,

Marina Grzinic Mauhler, Olia Lialina, Paul D. Miller, Anne Nigten,
Kate Rich, ®ark, Soda, Piotr Krajewski and Violetta Kutlubasis-Krajewska
All events will take place in Plymouth, UK but everything will be webcast
and archived on the Hybrid Discourse web site. There will also be a
discussion board on the site so that those who can not be present in
Plymouth can contribute to the conversations and debates.

entwickelte visuelle Produktionen. Der besondere Schwerpunkt des Programms
liegt auf dem Zusammenspiel von live generierter Musik und live erzeugten
Video-Animationen.
Die Kuenstler und Projekte im club_transmediale arbeiten in
Netzwerkstrukturen oder stellen sich selbst abseits des Mainstreams der
"DJ-Culture" sie arbeiten z.B. mit selbsterstelltem Material oder
produzieren ihre Arbeitsmittel unabhaengig, in Form eigens programmierter
Softwaretools und manipulierter Geraete.
Erstmalig kooperiert der club_transmediale mit zwei internationalen
Festivals fuer neue elektronische Medien und Musik dem Mutek Festival aus
Montreal (www.mutek.ca) sowie dem Sonic Acts Festival (www.sonicacts.com)

In hyperkomplexen virtuellen 3D-Raeumen erzeugen Action-Bots eine sich
stets veraendernde Bild- und Klang-Umgebung. NYBBLE Engine beruht auf einer

wie sie auch fuer die Produktion von Machinima-Filmen benutzt wird. Die
Performance zeigt eine ganz neue, generative Dimension des Cyberspace.

4. Performances Palindrome / John deKron
Mithilfe von Motion-Tracking-Systemen bespielen die Tänzer der Palindrome
Dance Company den Raum als virtuelles Instrument. Bewegung und Klang werden
eng miteinander verwoben und verweisen auf die Utopie einer Verschmelzung
von Mensch, Maschine und Umgebung. Der Raum wird zum klingenden
Ausdrucksmittel der tänzerischen Interaktion. www.palindrome.de
In "Reflektion" erzeugt John deKron ein interaktives Selbstportrait, indem
er mit seinem
selbstprogrammierten VJ-Videomischer auf sich und seine Bewegungen, aber
auch auf das umgebende Publikum und den Raum selbst direkt reagiert und
audiovisuell reflektiert. www.thisserver.de
Die Performance der Palindrome Intermedia Performance Group ("... seine
hohle Form ...") ist am Anfang der Preisverleihung der transmediale Awards

4. Performances Palindrome / John deKron
With the help of motion tracking systems, the dancers of the Palindrome
Dance Company work with space as a virtual instrument. Movement and sound
are closely interwoven with one another, and refer to the utopia of a
melting of human being, machine and surroundings. The space becomes a
resounding expression of the dancing interaction. www.palindrome.de
In "Reflektion" John deKron generates an interactive self-portrait by
directly reacting to and audiovisually reflecting on his own movements, the
surrounding audience and the space itself with his self-programmed VJ-video
mixer. www.thisserver.de
The performance of the Palindrome Intermedia Performance Group ("... seine
hohle Form ...") will be shown at the beginning of the transmediale Award
Ceremony, the performance by John deKron during the reception afterwards.

ABOUT THE COURSE
The advent of digital technologies has arguably been the most important
development for contemporary art practice since the invention of
photography. New media art has recently been the subject of major
exhibitions in Europe and the USA. At the same time the use of remote
technologies is allowing artists to move beyond the gallery to exhibit and
distribute their work, severing a reliance on traditional institutions, and
catalysing new social sub-cultures and networks. New forms of artistic
practice are emerging, which are entirely specific to digital culture.
This course takes a closer look at some of the issues art and technology,
attempting to place its diverse practices in a art historical, technical
and theoretical context.
18 February: Beyond the Technical
Tutor: Clive Gillman
[ Lead artist at the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, Liverpool ]
This session will provide a clear introduction to the terms and technology
employed by artists in the creation, distribution and display of new media
art.
25 February: Probing History
Tutor: Charlie Gere
[ Course Director of MA Digital Art History, Birkbeck University of London ]
This session will examine the role of computers and other technologies in
the history of art, probing the origins and precursors of contemporary art
and technology practice.
4 March: Internet Art
Tutor: Julian Stallabrass
[ Lecturer at the Courtauld Institute & author of the book, ‘Internet Art’ ]
This session examines work made specifically for the internet, looking at
what distinguishes it from other forms of contemporary art.
11 March: Art and Social Networks
Tutor: Eric Kluitenberg
[ media theorist & project coordinator, De Balie, Amsterdam ]
This session will how have new media artists used networked spaces such as
the airwaves, the internet and satellite networks as sites for artistic
intervention.
18 March Innovation & Momentum
Tutor: Peter Ride
[ Director of Digital Arts Agency, Bristol & Lecturer at Westminster
University, London ]
This final session will ask how the speed of technological innovation
impacts on artists working in new media.
