A little while ago, a friend of mine sent me a call for conference and art project submissions for the Futuresonic international conference and the Social Technologies Summit.  If you look past all of the typical techno-innovation type jargon, the conference is essentially focused on social networking with some interest in how art/artists relate to it.

The conference takes place in Manchester, and although entry to the conference is affordable for me, travel and accommodation is not. Even with their submission allowance, I don’t think I would have time to follow through with a conference topic with everything I have going on right now. I’ll just have to sit this one out. Besides, I should probably try to make it to one of the ISC’s conferences first!

Michael Geist and Howard Knopf blog about the Access Copyright v. Staples case. I haven’t been following the case closely enough to provide my own perspective of the case, but this will certainly be an interesting one to watch.
