Free software and shared archive systems in cultural institutions
place: Medialab Prado · Plaza de las Letras, C/ Alameda, 15 Madrid
This meeting brings together various cultural institutions and software developers to share resources and knowledge related to digital archives and access to stored cultural contents.
The purpose of these meetings is to work on a project with the objective of bringing together various cultural institutions to share resources and knowledge related to handling difficult aspects of managing archives and digital access to cultural contents, with the aim of responding to their needs as entities that provide service to the public.
The most immediate goal is to create a system or platform that enables sharing contents produced by different cultural entities, such that users can access and download in a simple way that is free of charge. This meeting is a continuation of the meeting held on 13 and 14 May 2009 during the Libremeeting in Miraflores de la Sierra (Madrid), where various cultural institutions and software developers gathered to begin talks about the project.
The sessions are fundamentally practical and consist of presentations on specific technical matters and group work among the participating institutions. Even when the sessions are based on work done previously, they are open to the participation of any other institution or person interested in the project.

liquid loft creates room. a liquid lounge. persons are moved. inside. sensitively. they talk about encoding, outfit, transgression, sound bytes, settings… they walk gently. almost levitating. no one steps in. no one stops the process. china is vast and this is too a good thing. the socialite, or shall we call her a lounge lizard, tells of winters in the private room. in the back Wan Tao is grinning. strangers are posing. divas are whispering secretly. things happening simultaneously, the performance escalates. one feels at ease…

A live stream through the Internet continues to be a an super natural experience. Video streams, in particualr, appear and disappear like clouds in the sky on a windy day…
The worldwide simultaneousness breaks the space-time continum, as well as some people’s patience. Here in Krems, slum-tv is performing and we stream the content almost 24h per day. We broadcast the daily production of slum-tv and there is a special show everyday around 19h (GMT+1)
The network itself makes it very easy to get another stream in the net and restreamed in our own channel. The net is made to be an enormous speaker for the voices of the people. We had the plesure to meet Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Gospel Choir. They preach an idiosyncratic message of imaginative anti-capitalism and are totally great, I found my church!
Today is not less amazing. From Barcelona it is going on the 3rd Free and community media meeting and from slum-tv we are restreaming it. Info about the meeting: okupem les ones (”squat the waves”) Automated English
