freesoulsby Joi Ito
“What’s freesouls?”
Freesouls is a project of photos commons created by Joi Ito
Lawrence Lessig
“Joi Ito is not a professional photographer, but is instead a professional elsewhere, who has used the understanding he has gained there to show us the people here.”
Joi Ito sought to…
“…as an accomplished photographer and his understanding of the people he photographed to produce high-quality digital images of these people.”
Joi would use his talent…
Joi would thenmake freely available …
“…not just in the sense that anyone could download them…”
…but also in the sense…
“…that they were expressly licensed for any use, commercial or not, so long as Joi was given attribution …”
“In a sense the commodification of image-making through copyright threatens to render it a commercial activity,
one with no soul....
Joi Ito's collection Freesouls seeks to challenge the anti-image tendency of copyright.”

You Can't Own KNOWLEDGE
It's time to set property aside, time to start recognizing that knowledge―valuable, precious, expensive knowledge―isn't owned. Can't be owned.

It's the energy of the memes that want to be passed from mouth to mouth and mind to mind.

empower, expand, divert, date, masturbate and
participate in our new and ever-expanding
digital conscience.
