Incubate Pirate Conference: September 17, Midi Theater


Program includes: Matt Mason, Hank Shocklee (The Bomb Squad), Xavier  
Le Roy and Generation Bass Forum. Tickets: Pay What You Want!

The Incubate Pirate Conference is a day on piracy in the arts on  
September 2010 in Midi Theater Tilburg. The Pirate Conference offers  
reflection on the value of creation in society. What do artists think  
about the current state of issues? How can they best react to the  
current operation of copyright? What strategies, tactics and  
interventions can be used?

Matt Mason, recently voted Pirate of the Year by BusinessWeek, will  
give a keynote speech at the Pirate Conference. Mason is the  
bestselling author of The Pirate’s Dilemma, the first book in the  
history of the world to hit the number one spot on Amazon’s economics/ 
free enterprise bestseller list, and the rap bestseller list, at the  
same time. In his book, Mason gives an overview about different  
subcultures that have brought on the most innovative ideas in history  
that later have become worldwide industries.

Hank Shocklee from American producers team The Bomb Squad is known for  
his pioneering work with hip-hop acts such as Public Enemy, Ice Cube  
and Run D.M.C. Shocklee uses lots of samples in his productions. Job  
de Wit will interview him on sampling and the future of copyright.

Visual artist Rob Scholte will give a lecture on the meaning of piracy  
within his work and in visual arts in general. Scholte's works are  
controversial because he often uses existing images. He shocks  
audiences with his works and knows how to effectively make the media  
and cultural industry respond to his will.

Performance artist and choreographer Xavier Le Roy invites Márten  
Spángberg (essayist, dance critic, dramaturge and choreographer) for a  
discussion on recycling / re-interpretation and re-enactment of  
performance art. During the Generation Bass Forum leading artists in  
non-Western contemporary dance will exchange views on blogs, sharing  
music and the traditional record industry.

To ensure accessibility and to fit the theme Piracy, the festival has  
chosen for the Pay What You Want principle. This gives the visitor the  
control to decide what the value of this conference and the public  
debate should be. Tickets can be bought through http://incubate-innovation.org/tickets 
. Visitors can indicate how many tickets they want to buy and what  
total amount of money they would like to pay for them.
