ccSalon: Creative Commons Australia

Monday, November 27, 2006
This Wednesday is the first ever Creative Commons Australia ccSalon. The details:
creative commons australia (CCau) invites you to its first ccSalon, a showcase of the creative commons in australia.

the ccSalon is a public exhibition/performance/expo of how artists are using creative commons licences and material worldwide. the ccau event features creative commons licensed material by a range of australian artists, including a live audio/visual mash up including music by collapsicon and hybrid arts music ensemble collusion with music and visuals by andrew garton of toysatellite.

garton will be drawing on cc content by other australia creators including animation duo blackbrow, photographer frollop, the community convergent newsroom, a new leaf media and footage from engage media and a swag of australian flickr photographers.

The ccSalon will also and include a share your wares, a hands on space for people to experience the diversity of CC licensed content. If you’re interested in including anything in that hands-on event, please get in contact with us.

The CCau ccSalon will be held from 6pm on 29 November 2006 at the Block, QUT Creative Industries Precinct, corner of Musk Ave and Kelvin Grove Rd, Kelvin Grove, Brisbane. Free entry, all welcome.

ccSalon is a public event. For further information, please contact Elliott Bledsoe or Jessica Coates or you can phone us on (07) 3138 9597.

You can also access the full program for the Salon by clicking on the attachment.

Unfortunately, despite being Australian, as I live 4500kms away, I won't be making it to the ccSalon (but you will be able to see one of my CC-licensed Flickr images on display). If you're in Brisbane or can get there, head to the party and wave the Creative Commons banner down under!

During the day of the ccSalon, Creative Commons Australia is also holding an industry forum looking at CC with/in Government; Open Access, Education + Libraries; and Creativity, Media + the Arts. Finally, don't forget that the main Creative Commons organisation is in the midst of their annual fundraising effort (please give if you can!).

Update (30/11): To my great pleasure I have discovered that Melanie Cook's photos from the ccSalon include one where you can see someone looking at one of my photos:
