FusedSpace: Contest for energizing public space
Posted by Clay Shirky
FusedSpace is running
a contest for ideas that energize the public environment (which, confusing to American ears, they call the public domain, an intellectual property concept.)
Do you have an idea or proposal through which technology will make possible other interactions with the public domain, will shed new light on it or in any other way will bring about innovation? Then do enter the Fusedspace competition. Fusedspace is an international competition for ideas on inspiring applications for new technology in the public domain.
Fusedspace calls for innovative ideas that, by means of existing technology, can change or improve our current relationship with physical public space or that can otherwise bring about innovations in the public domain.
Fusedspace calls for submissions
- that succeed either in increasing or simplifying the accessibility of virtual public spaces.
- that (by means of hardware or software) succeed either in making use of or increasing the public potential of the new media.
- that (by means of hardware or software) develop facilities which generate or enhance 'social coherence'.
- that stimulate or define the debate on the newly formed public domain.
- that search for modifications to utilities that predominantly are used commercially, and that can broaden cultural and social perspectives in the public domain.
Accepting submissions now, due by April 2, 2004. I'd link to more information, but their site uses frames for no easily observable reason, so getting to the info is a bit of a chore.
