Digital technology has changed the way we create and share our ideas. A world of music, literature, art and video is now available at our fingertips, and it's all ours to play with, remix and manipulate. But what does this mean for our ideas of creativity and originality, yours and mine?
Over the next few weeks, we invite you to creatively interpret the theme "We are what we share", and upload your creation to Pool. It's free and there are no time limits and no format requirements.
Just be creative. Mash up a film, tweak an artwork, remix a poem. It can be as simple as changing the colours in a photograph or as complex as remixing hundreds of different sounds into a single song.
The best entries will be showcased at the Ideas Festival and on the Pool and Creative Commons Australia websites. Winners will be announced and critiqued by experts at the We Are What We Share session as part of the Ideas Festival at the State Library of Queensland, Saturday 28 March from 5pm to 6.30pm. The entry judged best by the panel of experts wins an internship with ABC Radio National to co-produce an episode of the Night Air.

| Where do I get material to remix? | |
You can remix anything. But for it to be legal, you usually have to be the copyright owner, or have their permission. This is where Creative Commons comes in. With more than 160 million different images, sounds, films and written works available on websites from Flickr to Youtube, Creative Commons is a great source of material that can be legally remixed. For more information on what Creative Commons is and how you can find material that can be legally used in your remix, http://creativecommons.org.au/infopacks/poolingideas.
