Venue: Oh20eme! 12 rue Capitaine Marchal, 75020 Paris, France

Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation


This conference aims to bring people together to examine relations
between creators and users, seeking to identify common interests and
new opportunities to collaborate. Discussions will explore new and
existing social and business models for the intermediary between the
creative person and the consumer.

In particular, the meeting will look at models and relationships that
recognize the creative community's desire to earn a living, the
interest of the public in obtaining affordable access to works, and
the interests of both parties in supporting an environment for
creativity and innovation.

For both big and small projects, how best to support the livelihoods

hard to create documentaries or other works that remix other works?

15.30 =96 16.45 The public as a creative community.
How does the rise of blogging, amateur video making, music production
