De Balie is opening it’s cultural season. This time it’s a discussion about the public accessibility of scientific knowledge. People around the table are:
- Saul Albert (artists and writer from London)
- Sebastian Lütgert (artist and software programmer from Berlin)
- Kurt De Belder (Librarian of Leiden University and representative of Digital Academic Repositories (DARE))
- Ronald Beelaard (Wikimedia Nederland)
- Paul Keller (Creative Commons Nederland), moderator
Quite a strange panel. The young people that are programmers with a mission and in that sense a much more open (radical / inventive / provoking) view on the freedom of information (which I like). And two older men that enthusiastically talked about making information accessible to the public in a more traditional manner, only taking the implications of the digital age into account.
Could the striking difference in age and dress-code be any indication?
Read a statistic some time ago that people only need a split second to make up their mind about a person. No data if they were right or wrong in that assumption.
The registration on video (I’m one of the camera people) will be available on demand.
