[MCN-L] Hack the Bells

[Sarah Stierch]

Hi everyone,

This year I served as the Susan B. Miller Fellow at the Berkeley Center for New 
Media at the University of California, Berkeley. My major project focused 
around my obsession with carillons..I created Hack the Bells, the world’s first 
carillon remix competition. The twist? All works submitted were required to be 
released under a Creative Commons Share-Alike 4.0 license. 

I had judges from the Rijksmuseum, New Media Consortium, University of 
California, Berkeley, and yes, the carilloneur of Maastricht, Weert and Heerlen 
in the Netherlands (he also plays violin in the world famous Johann Strauss 
Orchestra with Andre Rieu). We had over 30 submissions, the majority (31) which 
are available on Wikimedia Commons. 

We awarded a grand prize of $700, which includes the acquisition of the piece 
at the University of California’s music library and the Anton Brees carillon 
library in Florida. Three runner-up prizes of $100 were awarded. Submissions 
came from 10 countries. I wrote a blog about the winners:

I’m happy to talk with anyone off list if you are interested in logistics 
regarding the implementation of this type of contest/project. I have heard it 
time and time again - contemporary art and open licenses don’t mix (no pun 
intended) - but that is simply not true. If you make it accessible, with 
incentive, they will come, and as a former gallery director of a contemporary 
art gallery who received 200+ submitted works every time I announced a call for 
artists, I was really amazed at receiving 30 submissions for this competition. 

The works submitted are varied - we received poems, paintings, digital art, 
music, video, and epic installation pieces that utilize open source technology 
to make the campanile at Berkeley into a real interactive work of art. 

Thank you to everyone who spread the word and especially to the jury and 
artists.

Does this help?

We are not a non-profit so I can’t speak directly to your needs. We have to go 
the standard route at $600 per year. All things considered, it’s better deal 
for us than the old system.

cheers,

Jennifer--

Have you tried Genesis

Best of luck--Matt

[MCN-L] Adobe Creative Suite licensing

[Jennifer Schmitt]

Hi all -

I'm looking for advice on how to implement Adobe Creative Suite now that it
has gone to a subscription model.  We have, in the past, purchased one copy
per fiscal year from Tech Soup. Tech Soup no longer offers CS, and when I
contacted Adobe about a non-profit rate, it sent me to a list of
resellers.  The resellers seem to want to sell their add-ons, training,
etc. All we need is a few licenses for Acrobat, Photoshop, Illustrator, and
InDesign.  I'm curious how others, especially with limited budgets, have
handled this.

Thanks!
