Very interesting Primavera! I have copied in the OpenGLAM list as well to
share this great news.

> The Public Domain Remix is an initiative that will be launched on the
> Public Domain Day 2013 in Paris - promoted by the OKFN France & Wikimedia
> France
>
> The idea is to leverage onto the Public Domain Review collections, in
> order to encourage people to remix  selected works from the public domain
> with other works (either from the public domain or licensed under an open
> licence). While the Public Domain Review is usefull to show how precious
> and valuable the public domain is, the Public Domain Remix will be used to
> illustrate the value of the public domain by what can be done with it.
>
> On the model of the "Wiki loves monuments" initiative, we would like this
> initiative to take the form of a challenge (once a year) run by each
> national chapter or group from Wikimedia and the OKFN network. Wikimedia
> France & OKFN France will take the lead on this initiative, hopefully
> followed by others jurisdictions.
>
> During the public domain day in Paris (January 31st), we will provide a
> series of torrents of Public Domain works that every attendant will be able
> to download to their own devices. The event will also provide an exhibition
> of Public Domain works remixed by French artists (sculptures, musics,
> images, etc), so as to encourage others artists to do the same by
> submitting their own personal remixes to the challenge.
>
> Selected remixes (from each jurisdictions) will eventually become part of
> an online publication (published every 3 or 4 months).
> If anyone is willing to contribute to this initiative (either with remixed
> artworks or other resources), please don't hesitate to contact us !
> Cheers,
> Primavera
