Creative Commons Art Show

by Victor King

Copywrite, and it's infringement, is something that most of us "blogger" have to deal with everyday. I mean, the images are not ours, nor is the text some times, but they are all related to the event that we are referencing. In the digital word, it seems these lines are blurring constantly. Thankfully, there is the Creative Commons license, as sort of simple copywrite that basically says "you can share my _____ as long as you give me credit." Tonight is the opening of NYU celebration of artists working under the Creative Commons license. Continues all month.

Date: Wednesday, March 1st
Time: 7:00pm
Location: NYU, Kimmel Center, 7th Floor (60 Washington Sq. North)

The use of unusual and/or homemade instruments and antiquated technology alongside the new is emphasized. On occasion, unannounced secret performances will occur throughout the space, utilizing the window and visual space." Check the site for full infor and mind the Opening party on Friday at 8pm.
