The post Highlights from GLAM Wiki by the CC Open Culture Team appeared first on Creative Commons.
]]>GLAM Wiki is an extraordinary international gathering that brings together cultural heritage professionals (from Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums, etc.) with the vibrant Wikimedia communities. More than 150 participants from all over the word came together with the goals to:
- Identify strategic priorities for the GLAM Wiki communities that promote knowledge equity, diversity and inclusion.
- Exchange and build capacity around GLAM Wiki tools, outreach and collaborations.
- Reflect, discuss and think of new roadmaps for our existing tools and platforms.
- Reconnect after the pandemic, network and discuss the future of GLAM Wiki.
The program was rich and diverse and included four sessions organized by CC, summarized as follows.
Creative Commons sessions’ highlights
1. Remixing Open Culture: Get Creative with Creative Commons
In this session, we provided a short presentation about remixing open culture. ALL culture is a remix, and everything we create draws inspiration from the art we have seen and been inspired by. We asked participants to think about why open culture is important to them as an individual. Using public domain images, attendees created “propaganda” for open culture, openly licensing their new creations, as in the example below. The CC licensed works have been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons under the category: Open Culture Remix Posters. Create your own poster to promote open culture and upload it to Wiki Commons with the category “Open Culture Remix Posters”.
2. Towards a Recommendation on Open Culture – What, When, How?
In this session, we presented an overview of our work around the TAROC initiative and invited participants from the audience — coming from Chile, Morocco, India, Finland, Mexico, Serbia and Portugal — to share their open culture experiences in order to inform this international, community-focused initiative. Some of the topics raised include: the notion of culture is much broader than fine art or even “the arts”; open culture raises specific questions in the context of heritage preservation during armed conflict, where the risk of looting is heightened; better sharing might imply “conditional” sharing in certain contexts; the control over access and use of cultural heritage might be shared by a multitude of stakeholders; open culture raises financial challenges that must be addressed; and more.
This served as a continuation of our ongoing community consultation, after a session on Values at the CC Summit in October, where we polled the audience to learn more about some of the core principles that underpin the movement’s aspirations. These consultations will continue in-person and online with the Open Culture Platform.
3. Open Culture on Wikipedia
In this collaborative session, participants worked together to draft and publish the first Wikipedia articles dedicated to open culture. In one hour we managed to publish pages in English, French, and Spanish, which are now open for anyone to edit and contribute to. We started articles in Finnish and Swedish as well.
4. The CC Certificate for GLAM: learn about it by becoming part of a human sculpture collection
This workshop highlighted considerations from the CC Certificate for Open Culture, a professional development training that builds expertise in open licensing and open practices for cultural heritage professionals. With participants, we put the teaching into practice by creating an exhibit of human sculptures, “digitizing” the works, then evaluating the ethical, cultural, logistical, and copyright considerations around the digitized collection.
GLAM Wiki and the broader open culture context
In running our Open Culture Program, we strive to hold space for conversations about the complexities of openness and the practical implementation of better sharing, our strategic north star — sharing that is contextual, inclusive, just, equitable, reciprocal, and sustainable.
As we engage with diverse stakeholders around the globe and as the landscape of the internet continues to evolve, we face new and important questions around how culture should be shared in a variety of contexts. For example, how can we envision exploration, and not exploitation, of the commons in the age of AI? What does equity look like in a global context where not all GLAMs have the resources for digitization? How can we think of “open” as a means to support wider cultural policy ambitions, not just an end in and of itself?
Our participation in GLAM Wiki was a way to tackle these questions and continue some of the exciting conversations we have had in the past months, including at the CC Summit, on TAROC, traditional knowledge and Indigenous cultural heritage, open culture and generative artificial intelligence (AI), and the future of the open movement.
We will continue to explore these complex topics to gain fresh perspectives in our Open Culture Live webinars, publications, Open Culture Platform calls and activities, and at in-person events where we can connect with the open culture community.

]]>The post Celebrate Public Domain Day 2023 with Us: The Best Things in Life Are Free appeared first on Creative Commons.
]]>
Join Creative Commons, Internet Archive, and many other leaders from the open world to celebrate Public Domain Day 2023. As of January 2023, a treasure trove of new cultural works has become as free as the moon and the stars — at least in the USA and many other countries. And what better way to get us feeling inspired than recalling those timeless lyrics of the 1927 hit musical composition: “The Best Things In Life Are Free“. We agree! That’s why we made it our theme.
This year ushered in a wealth of creative works published in 1927 into the Public Domain, which now contribute to our cultural heritage. Iconic authors like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Marcel Proust, and Virginia Woolf, silent film classics like the controversial The Jazz Singer with Al Jolson and Fritz Lang’s dystopian Metropolis, and snappy musical compositions like “You Scream, I Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream”.
You can welcome new public domain works and celebrate with us in three ways:
- Join us for a virtual party on 19 January 2023 at 1pm PST / 4pm EST / 9pm UTC, where we will celebrate our theme, The Best Things In Life Are Free, with a host of entertainers, historians, librarians, academics, activists and other leaders from the open world, including additional sponsoring organizations Library Futures, SPARC, Authors Alliance, Public Knowledge, and the Duke Center for the Study of the Public Domain. REGISTER FOR THE VIRTUAL EVENT!
- The Internet Archive will also host an in-person Film Remix Contest Screening Party on 20 January 2023 at 6pm at 300 Funston Ave in San Francisco. We will celebrate 1927 as the founding year of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, while watching this year’s Public Domain Day Remix Contest winning entries, eating popcorn and ice cream. Come dressed in your best golden age of Hollywood inspired costume, and walk the red carpet with the Internet Archive as we celebrate the entry of “talkies” into the public domain. REGISTER FOR THE IN-PERSON PARTY IN SAN FRANCISCO!
- Celebrate Public Domain Day 2023 with the Internet Archive through creative expression! Artists of all levels are invited to submit short films 2-3 minutes in length crafted from resources from the Internet Archive’s collections from 1927. The uploaded videos will be judged and prizes of up to $1500 awarded. All submissions must be in by Midnight, 16 January 2023 (PST). SUBMIT AN ENTRY OR FIND OUT MORE!

]]>The post Announcing the winners of CC Open Culture Remix Art Contest 2022 #CCSharesCulture appeared first on Creative Commons.
]]>Participants were tasked with creating original artworks in line with this year’s theme of “Love Culture? Share Culture!” by remixing public domain or CC BY-licensed images, paintings, photographs, drawings, etc., digitized in open collections.
We received close to 100 inspiring submissions, and are deeply grateful to everyone who participated in the contest. Your contributions underscore the creativity and transformative power that open access to cultural heritage can unleash, and we thank you for your gift to the commons.

The artworks, their descriptions and views expressed therein are those of the artists alone, and do not represent the views of Creative Commons.
Here are the prizes for #CCSharesCulture
1st place: cash award of US$1000
2nd place: cash award of US$500
3rd place: cash award of US$250
4th-7th: “honorable mention” – a copy of “Made with Creative Commons” signed by Larry Lessig, founder of Creative Commons
8th-10th place: “honorable mention” – a copy of “Made with Creative Commons”
Public choice award: Creative Commons merchandise
Here is a link to a list of attributions for the source material for each artwork >>
1st place: “Open Culture Salon – A Librarian’s Dream” by Alwaleed Khalid licensed under CC BY
Alwaleed on his work: “’Open Culture Salon’ reimagines digital repositories as a brick-and-mortar repository, in which openly licensed content comes alive and interacts with one another. The building brings together a collection from various sources, such as paintings, photographs, and landscapes. The windows of the building represent web browser windows. This remixed work, which uses 25 different openly licensed works, is inspired by 1980’s children’s puzzle books, as well as Dadaism and Surrealism – depicting perhaps a digital repository librarian’s dream.”
2nd place: “Lady with flowers” by Teresa Garcia licensed under CC BY
Teresa on her work: “One of the most famous works in history, created at a time when artistic appreciation was given by beauty, is transformed into a work for the 21st century, where artistic appreciation is the show. Because you have to ask yourself:
Where do those flowers come from?
- Is she dressed like this?
- Does she not have a body?
- Or is her clothes fused with the background?
- Is this work a second version of Leonardo da Vinci that has not been shown to the public?
I made this collage a day when I was a bit depressed. The darkness of the background of “The Lady and the Ermine” together with the black of “Still Life with Flowers and a Watch” gives me a somewhat dark but happy feeling. A light in the darkness.”
3rd place: “Nostalgia” by Florens Debora Patricia licensed under CC BY
Florens on her work: “Life is a loop, and Nietzsche considers a loop that occurs in our lives as a comedy. And named the concept Eternal Recurrence. And Nostalgia is one of the triggers for every human being to remember the repetitions that have occurred in their lives, both in terms of economic, cultural, and environmental psychology.”
4th place: “The Arts: Painting” by Robert Paul licensed under CC0
Robert on his work: “Creative Commons is integral to my approach to art, being both an enthusiastic user and creator of works licensed under Creative Commons. This work—a contemporary digital remix of Alphonse Mucha’s “La Peinture”—expresses my love for the creative potential that’s unleashed when art, culture, and media are shared freely and openly.”
5th place: “Metamorphosis UV-Map” by Carlos Travaini licensed under CC BY
Carlos on his work: “Metamorphosis UV-Map is a remix-work based on the 3D-digital scan of the neoclassical sculpture “Jason and the Golden Fleece” by Thorvaldsen, with the purpose of establishing a dialogue between past and present.
The scan of the original work was modified with the use of 3D-digital technology: the result is the 3D-Jason opened out onto a 2D-plane.”
6th place: “Disappearing” by Cristina Paveri licensed under CC BY
Cristina on her work: “‘It could happen to us’ was the Leitmotiv that made me select Ukraine culture heritage for this artwork. Here I remix a portrait of a young Ukrainian girl and an image of Ukrainian culture, in particular textiles and embroidery. The young girl’s portrait is fading as culture and people of Ukraine.”
7th place: “Frank against the Odd” by Chalas Jacques licensed under CC BY
Jacques on his work: “I was roaming on Numelyo, the Bibliothèque Numérique de Lyon, when I found this book. The original one is interesting, but it was this ugly numerisation which inspired me, with all its defaults. I don’t read nor speak Italian, so I just look at the drawings as a strange comic book of science-fiction. It reminds me of some stories like the ones we could find on Metal Hurlant crossed with pulp magazine. And the one I saw was really weird. A man, that I used to call Frank, ended up trapped in a strange world, fighting against unusual things, geometrical forms, flying hands with swords, robot guys, flying heads, etc…”
8th place + Public Choice Award: “East or West – Human stories are the best” by Arunesh Varade licensed under CC BY
Arunesh on his work: “Initially, I was influenced a lot by the western culture. However, over the years, I’ve developed a deep sense of appreciation for the culture of the east. Even though there’s a stark difference in the culture of the two regions, it’s the human emotion which drives us all. Expression of this emotion through music, paintings, sculpture, dance etc. provide us a medium to tell our story. That’s the best part about all these mediums of expression. It unites us all for the love of sharing our stories with no barrier of language. On a deeper level, it is these stories which form the basis for human connection.”
9th place: “Her Own Woman” by Danny Messing licensed under CC0
Danny on his work: “The original idea was to dress a famous nude (woman). How I was going to dress her was going to depend on the historical context of whatever piece I eventually used, but the ultimate goal was to challenge the history of the male gaze in art…As a child myself who played with paper-dolls, the first thing I would do is dress them as I’d dress myself (or how I wish I could dress). In that case, you have the viewer projecting themselves onto the goddess and how that can be rich with meaning. Dressing up is fun! Society oppresses women by reducing them to their looks! It’s everything. I loved making it. Funnily enough, the clothes were inspired by Sex and the City.”
10th place: “Justice for Johnny Depp” by OMARTCRAFT licensed under CC BY
Omartcraft on their work: “The modern world has evolved into a place where people are protected by law. Women enjoy the rights that years ago have not been in place, and generally, there is a constant positive dynamic in gaining rights for different groups of people. However, we witness the phenomenon when people abuse the law and transform it into a weapon for gaining credits. In 2022 Johnny Depp is becoming a symbol of this phenomenon.”

Creative Commons’ Open Culture Remix Art Contest #CCSharesCulture is open until 30 April 2022. So there’s still plenty of time to remix existing art and turn it into something fresh and exciting under the theme “Love Culture? Share Culture!”
In the run up to the submission deadline, we are introducing our panel of experts, who will judge the entries based on their conformity with the theme, expression of the theme, originality, creativity, quality, artistic expression, personal expression, visual appeal, and overall impact. Get to know one of our six judges, João Pombeiro, in this Q&A blog post.
Who are you?
I am a Portuguese creative mastermind (self-titled) who works as a visual artist, screenwriter, director, animator, art director and part-time visionary.
What does “better sharing” of culture mean to you?
I think it’s something that allows us to rethink history and, therefore, the present. And as a result of that process, a new culture is produced and shared. So, in a way, “Better Sharing” is a matter of cultural sustainability.
How can open access to cultural heritage stimulate creativity?
As a creator that works with collage, it allowed me to have a deeper contact with archives and new materials to work with. To see and think about new “old imagery” in a new perspective and context is one of my favorite creative tools.
What advice would you give to folks who are in two minds about entering CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?
Do it now, regret it later.
What sparked your passion for “open” culture?
It was the possibility to get past the basic stock photo/footage approach that most creatives find themselves limited to. And thanks to that, to achieve better work without any kind of legal worries.
What excites you about being a judge for CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?
To be a part of this amazing movement, and to see first-hand what people do with the archives, of course.
CONTEST NOW CLOSED. Thank you so much to everyone who participated. We will announce the shortlisted entries and winners in May 2022.

Who are you?
I am the cofounder and executive director of Fine Acts, a global nonprofit creative studio for social impact. An activist with a background in investigative journalism, I explore human rights innovation at the intersections of activism, art, tech and science. I am also cofounder of TimeHeroes.org, the largest volunteer platform in Bulgaria. I have a BA in communication and MA in political science from Sofia University, along with executive education at Harvard University, Yale University, Oxford University, and NTU-Singapore. I am a TED Senior Fellow, a Fulbright Scholar, a WEF Young Global Leader, and a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
What does “better sharing” of culture mean to you?
“Better sharing” means better us.
How can open access to cultural heritage stimulate creativity?
Removing barriers to cultural heritage and allowing people to remix content unlocks incredible creative potential – with the power to interpret the present in new, profound ways; to create fresh meaning and understanding; to build community and empathy.
What advice would you give to folks who are in two minds about entering CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?
Join! This contest is all about play – and what better is there? Being the author of the concept of ‘playtivism’ – that refers to creating spaces for multidisciplinary play and experimentation in activism – I am a huge fan of play. Creative play sparks better ideas, it brings us joy, a much needed levity, as well as the feeling that ‘we got this’.
What sparked your passion for “open” culture?
I believe that openness is the greatest impact amplifier. This is why tons of what we at Fine Acts produce is open-source, and free to use by others.
What excites you about being a judge for CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?
The vastness of the potential, the shorelessness of what to expect.
CONTEST NOW CLOSED. Thank you so much to everyone who participated. We will announce the shortlisted entries and winners in May 2022.

Get to know one of our six judges, Laliv Gal, in this Q&A blog post.
Who are you?
I am a former board member of Wikimedia Israel, and a leader and active member of the Wiki-Woman local project. I have been volunteering for the VIPs Photography Project for Wikipedia for 6 years. I am social media savvy, love to read & write, and I now work as a social media manager in the second largest health system in the world.
What does “better sharing” of culture mean to you?
I believe that caring is sharing…wherever I go, I take photos and upload them. When I run into someone, the first thing I will do is to check if they have a picture in his Wikipedia article…and if not, I immediately take care of it!
How can open access to cultural heritage stimulate creativity?
It can help people to better relate to their heritage and origins. Here in Israel, we have a lot of it.
What advice would you give to folks who are in two minds about entering CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?
As someone said before: “Just do it!”….
What sparked your passion for “open” culture?
My knowledge is now accessible to others, and I am always happy to share!
What excites you about being a judge for CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?
I’m excited to be a part of the team! To be a judge is a great honor. I did it before in a local form (here in Israel), but this is my first time in an international project. So happy to take part for the very first time!
CONTEST NOW CLOSED. Thank you so much to everyone who participated. We will announce the shortlisted entries and winners in May 2022.

In the run up to the submission deadline, we are introducing our panel of experts, who will judge the entries based on their conformity with the theme, expression of the theme, originality, creativity, quality, artistic expression, personal expression, visual appeal, and overall impact. Get to know one of our six judges, Tyler Green, in this Q&A blog post.
Who are you?
I am an author and historian whose work examines the ways in which artists and their work have engaged with and impacted national histories. My books include the California Book Award-winning “Carleton Watkins: Making the West American” (2018, University of California Press), and “Emerson’s ‘Nature’ and the Artists” (2021, Prestel). I am also the producer and host of The Modern Art Notes Podcast, the leading English-language audio program about art.
What does “better sharing” of culture mean to you?
Better sharing means using our shared cultural heritage to open up opportunities for new knowledge. In my case, that comes through research. The “better sharing” transforms, allows the locally held and narrowly seen to the global. I work on art; simply seeing art, even in JPEG form, is necessary for knowledge to be built from it.
How can open access to cultural heritage stimulate creativity?
I’m a creativity-skeptic — I believe less in magic light bulbs going off than I do in the results from research and study. But research and study is most possible when the most material is available most widely.
What advice would you give to folks who are in two minds about entering CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?
Use it as an opportunity to stretch your eyes. Use it as an opportunity to access and look at material that isn’t usually within your orbit.
What sparked your passion for “open” culture?
I work on the space between art and national histories. The most common material for the consideration of such is books, and lots and lots and lots of books are available under open access guidelines. In the US especially, groups such as the Internet Archive, libraries and other repositories have done a good job making copyright-expired works available digitally to all. But in art and art history, the situation is much, much more hit-and-miss, especially outside the US. Many American leadership institutions have embraced open access, but many of our largest art museums are laggards. My work, especially my last book, has been enormously enabled by open content.
What excites you about being a judge for CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?
Learning from those who participate!!

In the run up to the submission deadline, we are introducing our panel of experts, who will judge the entries based on their conformity with the theme, expression of the theme, originality, creativity, quality, artistic expression, personal expression, visual appeal, and overall impact. Get to know one of our six judges, karen darricades, in this Q&A blog post.
Who are you?
I am a multidisciplinary artist, media educator, and the arts and culture lead at Creative Commons Canada. I co-host live events featuring artists using CC-licensed works and open software called Watch Me Work: a look behind the screen with digital artists and creators. Watch Me Work will be live again in May with new episodes. Mostly, I live to support young creatives access the materials they need to create works of collage, photography and new media of all kinds. When not running workshops, I’m making digital things jump off screens and into the world using augmented reality.
What does “better sharing” of culture mean to you?
Better sharing to me means building a culture where creatives are free to borrow and build on meaning, while having a clear understanding of where those works came from and how those who created them want to be recognized for their contributions. A culture of sharing at its best recognizes the labor that went into the initial artistic process, but is free to create something new with it.
How can open access to cultural heritage stimulate creativity?
All art is art criticism, a reflection of and addition to the ideas and representations that came before, and implies an understanding that once we create something, it takes on a life of its own. That’s how cultural heritage remains relevant, vibrant and iterative parts of the human experience.
What advice would you give to folks who are in two minds about entering CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?
Please, don’t hesitate! Remixing is often messy, undecided and unfinished, please share your musings with us.
What sparked your passion for “open” culture?
The need to make something from something due to an inability to make something from nothing. I look at a blank page and see nothing. When I look at something, be it a famous work of art, flier stapled on a lamppost or a design element out of context, that’s when I get curious and motivated to make. I have always cut and pasted things of all kinds into new Frankenstein-like hybrids, and am so thankful to live in a time when more materials are at my fingertips than ever before, from peers to pros and historical works, all available to use or rework, it’s fantastic!
What excites you about being a judge for CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?
Everything! So excited to see the things folks will submit and their interpretations of the call. I work with young people using collage concepts and remixing content in my workshops, and frankly, it never gets tiring.
CONTEST NOW CLOSED. Thank you so much to everyone who participated. We will announce the shortlisted entries and winners in May 2022.

]]>The post At Japanese Beatmaking Event, Producers Create CC Remixes in Just Four Hours appeared first on Creative Commons.
]]>
Earlier this month, the fine folks of Creative Commons Japan hosted a beatmaking event at Bigakko, an innovative art education center in Tokyo. A quartet of up and coming Japanese electronic music producers—Madegg, Metome, Foodman (best name ever), and Canooooopy—were issued a challenge: Create brand new remixes of CC-licensed tracks found online. The musicians had exactly four hours to complete the challenge, from finding the CC-licensed source material to exporting their finished remixes.
The results turned out to be pretty fantastic, and are now available through the Creative Commons SoundCloud account. Most of the remixes and almost all of the source tracks that were used are licensed under CC BY and CC BY-SA, so there’s a lot here that you can not only listen to but also use for your own projects and remixes. Check ’em out:
Madegg, “Banana Man”
Metome, “Impro 2016l4l2”
食品まつりa.k.a Foodman, “Hey”
Canooooopy, “雲間に閃く集合知 [clouded souls of crowds]”
