Coffee Table Discussion
The Coffee Table Discussion is the Netauido’06 alternative to a podium discussion. Speakers are hosting a small discussion group each, offering you direct and in depth exchange. Each discussion lasts 20mins, after which you move on to the next.
Confirmed hosts so far:
- Antina Michels, German researcher on netaudio and its social impacts will explore the influence of self educated culture or DIY culture within the Netlabel scene and how it is influenced by emerging Internet technologies.

- Don Ludwig and Timor Kodal explore netaudio and the importance of place. As label owner of Pentagonik respective Pulsar and organiser of the Berlin’s Netlag parties, the two advocate Berlin as Europe’s electronic music capital and add a local argument to the very international netlabel movement.
- Andrea Rota and Jonas Andersson – MPhil students at LSE resp. Goldsmiths and members of Liquid Culture – focus on on the assembling of free culture – contexts, people, representations, legal issues, structures: are our traditional references still valid, or does free culture demand a break with mainstream theoretical frameworks? Why is the concept of ‘free culture’ so often limited to certain types of cultural expressions, and thought to be executed through applying certain ‘protocols’ to the realm of culture?
- Marc Zendrini, label head of the Swiss Adozen netlabel explains the intellectual property framework Creative Commons and invites you to discuss advantages and disadvantages compared to the traditional copy right approach.
- Steevio leads the debate of analogue vs. digital. As label owner of the vinyl label Mindtours and netlabel Mindnet, he offers views of how to handle different forms music media and how to combine analogue with digital culture. – due to family obligations Steevio won’t be able to host a table on the discussion round.
