On Tuesday April 2 from 7:00pm-9:00pm, Eyebeam will host <em>Rights, Rogues, and Refugees</em>, a panel discussion focused on Joe Karaganis' "Media Piracy in Emerging Economies", the first independent, large-scale study of music, film, and software piracy in emerging economies. Panelists will discuss the tension between copyright enforcement and copy cultures in post-digital spaces, pirate philosophy beyond entertainment, and how the local and the physically located (the object) retains relevance in a culture of Internet and memes.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.1em;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:1em;margin-left:0px;clear:both">"The free software and arts communities are filled with people motivated not just by money but by the act of creation and a drive to make meaningful, or at least functional, contributions to society," writes F.A.T. Lab co-founder Evan Roth in his recent essay, <em>Artist Hacker: From Free Software to Fine Art</em>. Inspired by the philosophy put forth by Roth, Eyebeam will host a panel on Thursday April 4 from 7:00pm–8:30pm called <em>Artists as Hackers</em>. The discussion will bring together Roth and F.A.T. Fellows Aram Bartholl, Tobias Leingruber, James Powderly, and Addie Wagenknecht for a look at how hacker culture has influenced a new generation of artists.</p>
