hi.
I'm Jamie King. Trebor invited me to join this prep list and introduce
myself, and this is me doing so. I'm an editor at Mute magazine
(www.metamute.com), a member of the Geneva03 collective, which worked at
the G8 Evian and is currently organising against the World Summit
Information Society (www geneva03.org). I am an activist in the area of
intellectual property,from official and unofficial interventions in the
WIPO process (sometime as a Fellow of the Civil Society Coalation) to
mobilising around issues like commons, drm, p2p (which we did, for
example, at the last G8), promoting the transgression of (not just
digital) media regimes, community networking (often conspiring with
consume.net and James Stevens) &c. I write a bit on (post)autonomist
poltical theory, anticapital and so on. I am a Fellow of the University
of Minnesota's Design Institute (design.umn.edu), where I teach a little
and write on diverse issues tangentially (or should that be tenuously?)
related to design and creativity.
I haven't read the list archive yet, but I will soon.
Cheers,
Jamie
