Opening with the announcement of the winning entries for the Pooling Ideas: We are what we share competition, this seminar provides a forum for discussion of the importance of remix, reuse and collaborative innovation in a digital society.
Join John Jacobs of ABC's collaborative media site, The Pool, and Elliott Bledsoe of Creative Commons Australia, along new media researcher Jean Burgess and Merri Randall, to discuss the way modern technologies have changed the definitions of creation and creator.
