Proposals marked LCA come from a funding proposal submitted in summer 2005 to Lewisham Creative Agency through Goldsmiths College, originally edited by Andrea.
- Remix Reading is part of Remix Commons, a network of free culture projects in the UK [proposed by Sarah, edited by Andrea]
- our aim is to get artists (working with music, video, images and text) to come together and share their work, be inspired by each others' work, and ultimately to create "remixes" [from Remix Reading]
- our volunteers run local events promoting free culture, bringing the ideas and content to people across the UK who would never find this stuff online [from Remix Reading]
- provide support and documentation to help replicate our projects in other contexts [Andrea, Sarah]
- promote Creative Commons licenses [Sarah]
- promote integration of creative processes with social and urban processes [Andrea, now already in VisionA]
- promote multiplicity of approaches to creativity, educating to the positive values of cultural diversity [Andrea, now somehow in VisionA]
- developing and promoting the brand of deptford as a local/global nexus of creative flows, located in an area with strong and dynamic local identity and open to london's global creative atmosphere [LCA]
- promoting creative innovation and entrepreneurship through a fairer access to reuse of local creativity [LCA]
- helping creative projects better understand copyright and intellectual policy issues in the dynamic context of electronic art distribution [LCA]
- aggregating local practice and research projects on creative commons under a common hub with strong links to expertise centers and similar projects running elsewhere [LCA]
- enhancing, through an open remix process, the cultural imagination of the local creative community [LCA]
- we realize that the deptford/greenwich creative hub project is highly ambitious and deeply connected to local development and equality of opportunity - we therefore propose an innovative vision that breaks with traditional paradigms of culture production and consumption and exploits a fairer access to creative opportunities [LCA]
- the remix deptford database will be a database for cultural projects and events that use the principals of free culture. people living and working in south-east london, students, community activists, architects, artists are invited to take part in workshops using the remix system [Adnan]
