The files are already downloaded. The files<br />
are already uploaded. They’ve been going<br />
up and down and in and out in abundance.<br />
Instead of discussion how the forces of winter<br />
are going to sell snow to Eskimos, we<br />
want to talk about how to extract meaning<br />
from this abundance.<br />

# Art/Technology/Life<br />
The digital networks makes processes,<br />
identities, contexts and works infinitely connected.<br />
The division between creator, work<br />
and consumer is a bleak way of describing<br />
cultural circulation and digital lifeforms.<br />
The cost of upholding copyright’s abstract<br />
relations between art, technology and life is<br />
a world that is mute and ever more depopulated.<br />
Hence, we are not about anti-copyright<br />
but more - Thank you and good bay<br />

talk about better and worse ways of indexing,<br />
archiving and copying - not whether<br />
copying is right or wrong. Winter is pouring<br />
