Eyebeam, the Art/Tech center in NYC is celebrating 5 years of projects with
a panel that will probably be streamed-- at least the first part of the
evening, which is a history of the internet will be:


*5-7 PM*: Online: *F.A.T. Public Access:* “The History of the Internet”
with Kevin Driscoll

On Tuesday April 2 from 7:00pm-9:00pm, Eyebeam will host *Rights, Rogues,
and Refugees*, a panel discussion focused on Joe Karaganis' "Media Piracy
in Emerging Economies", the first independent, large-scale study of music,
film, and software piracy in emerging economies.  Panelists will discuss
the tension between copyright enforcement and copy cultures in post-digital
spaces, pirate philosophy beyond entertainment, and how the local and the
physically located (the object) retains relevance in a culture of Internet
and memes.

"The free software and arts communities are filled with people motivated
not just by money but by the act of creation and a drive to make
meaningful, or at least functional, contributions to society," writes
F.A.T. Lab co-founder Evan Roth in his recent essay, *Artist Hacker: From
Free Software to Fine Art*.  Inspired by the philosophy put forth by Roth,
Eyebeam will host a panel on Thursday April 4 from 7:00pm–8:30pm
called *Artists
as Hackers*.  The discussion will bring together Roth and F.A.T. Fellows
Aram Bartholl, Tobias Leingruber, James Powderly, and Addie Wagenknecht for
a look at how hacker culture has influenced a new generation of artists.
