this website functions both as an archive and a space to exchange thoughts, questions and information. you can post a comment, text or link in the designated spaces- there are no rules that prescribe what is relevant to the project, but rather this is down to processes of collaboration and negotiation.
if you wish to publish a text, audio, video or other files within the future archive framework, or announce an event, please get in touch with manuela. you can send data over at any point, preferably via the internet, or on cd/dvd.
all the material generated/ published in the framework of the future archive will automatically be open source licenced.*
*Open source, or open content, licences are legal documents that protect a set of material (ideas, text, image, etc) from ownership by one single person or agency, and offer it for anyone to access and use. The interviews operate under a specific creative commons attribution share-alike licence, which means that those who decide to use future archive material (to make a film, music, research, etc.) can do so without asking permission, as long as they attribute the future archive project as the source of the material, refrain from using the material commercially (i.e. exploiting it for profit) and as long as they share it under the same form of licence. This form of legal document opposes the conventional copyright contract, making ideas and material available for the public domain, to be shared and worked upon collectively. This is because ideas, much like images and sounds, should not be owned, but related to. “My” in this sense is relational, not proprietary.
