Forensis Project ideas moved to http://pad.constantvzw.org/p/courtcases.activities ////////////////////// Special: coalition between cultural and academic institutions. "The "we share books" coalition" 2 modes of dissemination: Cultural, Academic -- and what formats Socialisation of courtcase slogans: "it's enough!", "we are all * " (custodians, possibe subject of legal pressure), "we all share * " (books, movies, digital files... ).... Imagining the enactment. Not a theatre play. The story matters. Courtcase is "exciting". Materials from Aaaaarg case (and Libgen/sci-hub) Playfulness Imagining together Theatre might actually helpful Break the simple narrative up. Qualities of Ubu, Monoskop, Memory of the world beyond the simplicity of "access for all". Cultural - Academic - Research. University for 21st century. "Nobody is excluded" Public library *Catalog/amateur librarian *Access for all *... Monoskop, Ubu Web, Aaaaarg has artistic quality more than Library Genesis and Science Hub. Greek tragedies, it is a working metaphor "theatre of law". It is also already marked territory. What would be a form we could develop from the case itself? Forensic theatre ... afraid it is too over used Natural audience is academia? Is this a way to communicate? Is it just fun? Target Audience? Invite into format? We need to think of ourselves as the playwright. Condense it into ten minutes. Make it quotable. But "access to all" is actually already condensed? Problem is with play ... it is a product. But: courtcase as a constraint, a focus point creating a momentum. Courtcase as a forum? What do we mean by forum? A public discussion We need multiple ways to communicate ... playing to people strengths. Push at open doors. Campaign + reflective/public moment A narrative format mobilizing 150 million ... letter as a call to arms. Little prince helped making people understand that they have an agency in this, but audience still narrow How to create something that 150 million can sense their agency. Is the "courtcase" Marcell's and does that cut out the possible agency of 150 million to sense agency? What is the question they want to hear? Not: Marcell taking the sins of everyone. Instead making it a story of all of us (not the story of all of us being sinners). We are all custodians ... "I share books" Strategies: Testimonials. Making a collection of materials ... a wiki. Someone/a group needs to curate it Discussing, reflecting, forms of research, diversifying. Marcell has symbolic capital in artworld. It needs to be parallel activities, not an exact/explicit moment. More a circus that moves around. A caravan. "Making public" continuously. Institutions A snowball, a fleet - Brewster Kale bookmobile ref: Pirate bay bus A scanner moving in a bus. The slow process is producing an awareness around it Articulating the arguments. Shaping the case. It is what we do always? How do we shape a discussion? Constraints = courtcase Analytics, intelligence = research A date in the future Urgency! Infrastructures are under pressure. They will be shut down. TTIP We are done with waiting communicating with aaaargh users? A theme for a forum: Discussions about the paradox of leftist publishers sueing platforms blaming, shaming and transparency talking to, exposing Polity for sueing aaaargh A wiki
