Hey everyone,

It’s officially RE/Mixed Weekend! I wanted to quickly let you know about a last minute panelist who will be joining Moby, Christopher Weingarten, Seth Carnes, Elisa Kreisinger, Kait Kerrigan and Kenneth Hung on the 3:45 ‘Artists Only’ panel on Sunday. We are thrilled that Anita Ondine of The Workbook Project will be joining us. Here’s a little more about her:

Anita Ondine is a writer, producer, intellectual property lawyer and activist. When Anita wrote her legal thesis ‘Lex Cybertoria’ about copyright on the internet over a decade ago it was one of the first papers calling for copyright reform in the digital age. Anita subsequently worked as an IP lawyer providing cutting edge advice to several major multinational corporations, including Reuters and Lehman Brothers, where Anita was Senior Vice President. Anita then returned to her artistic roots and is now fully immersed in innovative content creation through her transmedia production company Seize the Media, in partnership with Lance Weiler.

I also wanted to remind you that, gods and goddesses willing, we will be live streaming the event at: www.remixedmedia.org/live, starting at 2:30 PM EST. I say gods willing because we ran into a snafu or two with our equipment earlier this week, and have been unable to run a test, so we’re flying by the seat of our pants, without a net, and all that. If for some reason, there are issues with the stream, be sure to check out tweets from the event which will use the hashtag #RMMF, and photos will be added to the Flickr group at: flickr.com/groups/rmmf/

Finally, I want to give a BIG shout out and THANK YOU to our beer sponsor, Manhattan Beer Distributors, who donated a boatload of beer to the event.  You guys rule!  Thanks for supporting the cause!

For those of you who will be attending, I look forward to seeing you on Sunday. Happy RE/Mixed Weekend, everyone!

Hey Everybody,

The festival is only a few days away, and we’re looking for questions from you, our internet audience, to ask the panelists at the 3:45 (EST) “Artists Only” panel discussion moderated by Deanna Zandt.   The theme of the panel is creative appropriation, remix and copyright reform and the panelists will include: Elisa Kreisinger, Seth Carnes, Kenneth Tin-Kin Hung, Kait Kerrigan & Brian Lowdermilk, Christopher Weingarten, and Moby, who recently launched a website to provide his tracks free to independent filmmakers.

Ask your questions in the comments and we’ll pass them on to our moderator who will try to ask them during the panel.  Remember, even if you’re not in NYC, you can watch the festival live stream at: http://www.lofilounge.org/live.

For reference, these are the panelists:
