Copyright Puppets – CopyCamp 2006
CopyCamp was great. It was a truly unique event that I was glad to be a part of. The organizers did a great job of putting on the plushest (or plushiest) unconference style event I could ever imagine. I learned so much and it was so great to talk with people in the art community about technology and how it will change the realities of their work and working environment in the future. To find out more checkout the CopyCamp wiki or the flickr photos.

This was a video I used to introduce a session that I conducted. The session was about using puppets (or if I was Oscar Wilde, masks) as a way of allowing ourselves to say things we might not normally say. Acting for Introverts. The content of this video is meant to be a light commentary on general issues in copyright and how entertainment will be consumed in the future.
After the video we tried to do an impromptu session with the puppets. It was a lot of fun but we didn’t get a lot of solid thoughts. That was ok because I think that lightening up the event a little was cool because there was so much great ideas at the event. Below are some pictures taken from the video we took of the session.
Also posted the presentation I did for the Speed Geek.

I was asked to be part of the SpeedGeek at the recent CopyCamp. The SpeedGeek was a congregation of 14 presentation setups where 14 groups could watch 14 five minute presentations by going through the room. This is a video that was hacked together by combining an audio recording by Phillip Smith of one of my presentations sync’d to the images I brought to show. I had a lot to say in my 3-4 minutes plus questions and doing that 14 times in a row is very tiring : – )
I talked about the rich (albeit year old) history of BarCamp from a Toronto perspective and what our community has done.
So in my rush to meet the timeline I made some mistakes. Minor mistakes like saying the first BarCamp was in SF instead of PA, and that we have 4 demos at DemoCamp instead of 5. There are other mistakes but hopefully no one will be too upset.
