<br>
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?<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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
