[pd-discuss] new member intro

[Primavera De Filippi]

Hi Peter, and welcome !
I have recently joined the pd-discuss list myself, so I will take this
occasion to introduce myself as well.
My name is Primavera De Filippi and I am a PhD researcher at the Law
Departement of the European University Institute in Florence, currently
working under the supervision of Prof. Giovanni Sartor.
I have been interested in arts and technology for a long time, and I am now
increasingly interested in the impact that new technologies may have over
the copyright regime, a topic which I am currently addressing in my PhD
thesis. More precisely, the focus of my research is on the interraction that
exists between public and private ordering (i.e. DRM systems and Open
Content licenses) when it comes to the regulation of information. In
particular, the main objective of my thesis is to establish an ontological
framework capable of identifying the constitutive elements of a copyright
work, and, most importantly, to provide an accurate definition of what
constitutes a digital copy.
I recently started to work together with Jonathan in establishing a broader
and more concentrated network of potential collaborators for the Public
Domain Calculator.

> I am a recent *Master of Global Communications* graduate at The American
> University of Paris. I have a quite diverse background, trained in the
> visual arts, communications, management and information technology. Recently,
> I have been accepted to the *PhD in Cultural Policy and Management*program at

> My interest has two main fields: new media research and cultural advocacy.
> In my researches I focus on issues around cultural democracy and free
> culture, aesthetic canon, online popular culture, public interest and
> cultural politics.
> On the other hand I work for the realization of these concepts, I advocate
> an open, participative and competitive cultural sphere. I have worked as an
> intern at two leading cultural institutions and actively founded two
> Hungarian culturally focused NGOs. Today, the NGO I launched named *
> KON|TЯA** *(which means reflection) has a summer project with 30 plus

> students and manage participative art projects with youth and social
> researchers.

> Most recently I have got in touch with Jonathan Gray at The Open Knowledge
> Foundation, because I look forward to make an internship at the Foundation
> to get more experience at open society research and advocacy.
