VIDEO SLAM is an exercise in cross-discipline collaboration focused on the use of flexible licenses for the creation of new works that are shared within the public domain under the same licenses from which content was sourced from.

This project would not have been possible had it not been for the participation of the Creative Commons Clinic team who teamed up with OPEN CHANNEL and worked with us and our team of artists to ensure all content was accurately attributed.

VIDEO SLAM is and OPEN CHANNEL production workshop and was produced for Arts Law Week 2007 in association with Horse Bazaar, the Creative Commons Clinic (Brisbane), Federation Square, EngageMedia and the Victorian Arts Law Consortium.
