.dpi, 22: Free Culture (2011) [French/English]

.dpi is an alternative forum for discourse and creation, on the subject of women, media and technological landscapes.

“Against recurrent and rhetorical assaults from the “creative” industries and governments that claim loud and clear that copyrights and intellectual property are the saving grace of culture, some creators diffuse their work and reuse, reinvent and revolt themself and play. They claim free culture as both movement and public discourse – a discourse that is multilingual.

Extension of the public domain, prism of freedom, translation of a universe or restoration of a natural state – can free culture interpret itself freely? What makes it culture? What freedom does it embody? What is it fighting for? What materials is it using and what relationships is it building on?

Dpi22 Free Culture offers a number of propositions that are sometimes at odds, tensing against one another. Throughout the issue, they act as dialogue from the artists-thinkers of this culture and freedom and showcase a virulent dynamic.” (from Editorial)
