20th-century American
artist, Alice Neele , "
The Auntie Hero": "
While
Uptowners were making their way downtown to have their portraits
painted by Warhol, Downtowners were going up to 107th Street to sit
for this bohemian, auntie-like artist." Check out seven
decades of raw, sometimes amazing, but always deeply humane portraits
of the often larger-than-life figures who peopled the New York art/lit
scene and Neel's personal landscape, including such iconic
irrepressibles as
Joe Gould,
Andy Warhol,
Annie Sprinkle, and
Bella Abzug.

02/01/2005 09:07 PMHey, cool, Gina's post about fixing her mother-in-law's computer made
the BBC website. I was spending those same few days doing some very
similar tasks, so I'm glad to see that the unpaid IT department that
actually subsidizes the tech industry is getting some press. I haven't
finished my post...

to the work of Euan "The Obvious" Semple at the BBC. Euan has been
leading the BBC down the social software path before software was
called social. Meanwhile, I'm trying to wrestle my 75+ pages of notes
on the Beeb's digital make-over into 2,500 words for Wired. More
words! I need more words!...

Beeb sites face 'public value test'
Beeb sites face 'public value test'

"BBC wields axe over
websites" Some BBC websites are going to be going away soon due to
a "public value test", discussed earlier
here and
here. This comes
after the
Graf
Report and charges that they aren't different enough from
commercial sites. Will you miss "
Pure Soap," "
Fantasy
Football" and the others?

06/02/2004 12:10 PMThe BBC's Creative Archive is well underway now and a group of
UK-based copyright activists and concerned license-payers have gotten
together to lend their support to the project. The Archive is a
project to put the BBC's enormous archive on the net for free viewing
and remixing by the license-paying public. If the Beeb pulls this off,
it will be the largest and most ambitious open-content project in the
history of the world; a shining proof of the idea that the sky doesn't
fall when you relax your copyright a little. I mean, we're talking the
future of public service broadcasting here.
So the Friends of the Creative Archive are a bunch of concerned people
who want to keep this on track. It's certain that there's going to be
a lot of opposition to this -- from rights-holders, commercial
broadcasters, even parts of the Beeb. But at the end of the day, the
license-payers bought that programming, and it's not doing us any good
sitting on the BBC's shelves.
You can help: if you're a license payer, you can join the Friends, and
there will be lots of opportunities in the near future to petition the
Beeb, the Governors, the DCMS and Parliament for this -- there's an
open letter now that you can sign onto.
Here are some of the elements critical to the creation of a real,
useful, relevant Creative Archive:
* It must be broad: drawing from all areas of the BBC's broadcasting
from factual to light entertainment, from drama to sport, and
everything in between.
* It must be accessible: files must be made available in open,
standards-defined formats without "digital rights management" or other
technology locks that will keep Britons from creatively re-using the
BBC's offerings.
* It must be free: Material should be licensed under conditions that
do not restrict any licence payer from accessing, storing, modifying
or sharing archive material for non-commercial use.
* It must be whole: Material should be provided in its entirety for
non-commercial use, not only in excerpted form.
* It must be soon: the BBC's own internally produced material should
be released into the Archive as soon as possible, to prove to the
world that the sky won't fall if you relax your copyright stance.
* It must be complete: the BBC should take steps to clear the rights
to the independently produced material in its archive.
* It must be sustainable: the BBC's new licensing agreements with
independents should all include the right for the BBC to make the
works available in the Creative Archive for full non-commercial use.
