Aus der Projektbeschreibung: Barcelona 29th October – 1st November 2009
Across the planet, people are recognizing the need for an international space to build and coordinate a global framework and common agenda for issues surrounding free culture and access to knowledge. The Free Culture Forum of Barcelona aims to create such a space.
Bringing together under the same roof the key organizations and active voices in the free culture and knowledge space, the Forum will be a meeting point to sit and put together the answers to the pressing questions behind the present paradigm shift.
The Forum will be an open space for drawing up proposals to present the position of civil society on the privatization of the intellectual production and creation debate and its impact on access to knowledge, and on creation and distribution of art and culture.
The information society and the new digital context have brought about a revolution in the way knowledge and culture are created, and most of all in the way they are accessed. Citizens and consumers are no longer passive and isolated in the face of a content-providing industry, now we collaborate, participate and decide.
Technology has bridged the gap, allowing ideas and knowledge to flow; it has done away with many of the geographic and technological barriers that get in the way of sharing; it has provided new educational tools and led to the emergence of new formulas for social, economic and political organisation.
This revolution is comparable to the change that the printing press brought about in relation to knowledge, or what the industrial revolution did to the economy. This new reality is leading us to reconsider the traditional system of culture and bring it into line with the new times.
