DESCRIPTION:Even if you've never heard of Negativland, this talk will be of interest if 
 you want to learn about pranks, media hoaxes, media literacy, the art of 
 collage, creative activism in a media-saturated multi-national world, file 
 sharing, intellectual property, evolving notions of art and ownership and 
 law in a digital age, artistic critiques of mass media and culture, and 
 so-called "culture jamming" (a term coined by Negativland way back in 
 1984). Widely known for being sued for their "U2" single, Negativland have 
 been a thorn in the side of corporations.  They've released many CDs, gone 
 on tours, and were the subject of San Francisco filmmaker Craig Baldwin's 
 1995 feature film "SONIC OUTLAWS". \n\n"Negativland isn't just some group 
 of merry pranksters; its art is about tearing apart and reassembling found 
 images to create new ones, in an attempt to make social, political and 
 artistic statements. Hilarious and chilling."  - The Onion.\n\nBio\nMark 
 Hosler is a founding member of the group Negativland, which since 1980 has 
 created records, video, radio and live performance using appropriated 
 sound, image and text.  Mark has been aggressively and publicly involved in 
 advocating a significant reform of copyright laws, publishing on these 
 issues for Billboard Magazine, Keyboard Magazine, College Music Journal, 
 NYU Law Commentator and others. He has lectured at the Universities of 
 Virginia, and Chapel Hill, MIT, Yale, NYU, Seattle University School of 
 Law, Cranbrook Academy of Art, and at various venues in Washington D.C, New 
 York City, London, Berlin, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Los Angeles, and more.  He 
 was the keynote speaker at the 2004 Allied Media Conference, spoke at the 
 Regional Conference to End Corporate Dominance in Portland Oregon, at the 
 Conference On The Public Domain at Duke University, as part of alternative 
 events during the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia, and at 
 the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in 
 2008.\n\nhttp://www.negativland.com\n
