http://eyebeam.org/events/fat-gold 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. -- http://www.deepdishwavesofchange.org
