SUPERFLEX Selforganisation.Pdf Self-organisation/Counter-economic strategies is about the many approaches to the creation, dissemination and maintenance of alternative models for social and economic organisation, and the practical and theoretical implications, consequences and possibilities of these self-organised struc- tures. The counter-economic strategies presented here are radical alternatives to classical capitalist economic organisa- tion that exploit, or have been produced by, the existing global economic system. Essays by ten writers cover a wide cross-section of activity, from new approaches to intellectual property and the impli- cations of the free/open source software movement to politi- cal activism and the de facto self-organisation embodied in informal architecture and the so-called black economy. Self-organisation/Counter-economic strategies is not a comprehensive overview or an attempt to unify these diverse interpretations. It is intended as a toolbox of ideas, situations and approaches, and includes many practical examples. 0240_057_self_o_cover.indd 1 10/09/06 16:53:31 Self-organisation/ counter-economic strategies Self-Organisation/ Counter-Economic Strategies This book is published by: Sternberg Press (2006) Produced by: NIFCA, Nordic Institute for Contemporary Art In collaboration with: The Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki The Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven Montana, Denmark Editors: Will Bradley, Mika Hannula, Cristina Ricupero, Superflex Editorial Co-ordinator: Sylvester Roepstorff Copy Editing: Christy Lange Design: Rasmus Koch Assistants: Thomas Frederiksen, Alexander Häggström Typeface: Akzidenz-Grotesk BQ Printing and binding: Centertryk A/S, Denmark ISBN 1-933128-13-5 Sternberg Press Caroline Schneider 1182 Broadway #1602, New York NY 10001 Linienstraße 159, D-10115 Berlin www.sternberg-press.com NIFCA publication # 28 Unless otherwise stated, the essays in this book are made available under the Creative Commons Attribution ˜Non-Commercial˜ ShareAlike Licence 2.5 Rights information for the examples can be found online at the URLs provided (www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/) 6 Self-organisation/ counter economic strategies Introduction This book is about the many approaches to the creation, dis- semination and maintenance of alternative, ‘bottom-up’ models for social or economic organisation, and the practical and theo- retical implications, consequences and possibilities of these self-organised structures. The term self-organisation is borrowed from systems theory and the natural sciences, where it describes systems whose internal organisation tends to increase in complexity without being guided by an outside source. In recent years it has been used in relation to certain kinds of social groups or networks; in this context, the term does not have a strict definition, but broadly speaking it refers to groups that are independent of institutional or corporate structures, are non-hierarchical, open and operate participatory decision-making processes. The counter-economic strategies discussed here are radical alternatives to classical capitalist economic organisation that exploit, or have been produced by, the existing global eco- nomic system. Writers from different fields have been invited to investigate these themes with reference to particular situations. The essays they have contributed discuss a wide cross-section of activity, from new approaches to intellectual property and impact of the free/open source software movement to political activism and the de facto self-organisation embodied in informal architecture and the so-called black economy. They represent diverse, and sometimes conflicting, viewpoints and interpretations. Self-organisation/ counter economic strategies 7 Self-organisation/Counter-economic strategies is not a com- prehensive overview or an attempt to unify these diverse in- terpretations. It is intended as a toolbox of ideas, situations and approaches, including both theoretical reflections and case-studies. In this spirit, we have also collected many short, practical examples of self-organised groups or strategies; the thematic index is intended to enable you to navigate the book from the point of view of your own areas of interest. This book has been produced as a result of Superflex’s resi- dency in the Amazon region of Brazil, organised by Cristina Ricupero for NIFCA. We would like to thank Søren Friis Møller and Maaretta Jaukkuri for their support during the initial stages of this project. We would also like to thank all of the writers and contributors, to express our gratitude to Rasmus Koch, Sylvester Roepstorff, Christy Lange and Caroline Schneider for helping to turn the concept of this book into physical reality, and like to acknowledge the support of NIFCA; the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki; and the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven; and Montana, Denmark.

    Superflex Keynote Speech: If Value, Then Copy* INTRODUCTION TO SUPERFLEX Good afternoon, I hope that you are enjoying your meal and I thank the waiters and waitresses who are serving us, and the cooks in the back. Good afternoon, I am Anupam Chander. I am Director of the California International Law Center, and I am a law professor here at UC Davis. I am speaking to you on behalf of Mario Biagioli and Madhavi Sunder, my colleagues at the University of California, Davis, and also on behalf of the UC Davis Law Review. I welcome you to a keynote address for our conference titled “Brand New World: Discovering Oneself in the Global Flow.” We are delighted today to welcome Rasmus Nielsen of the internationally renowned artist-group called “Superflex.” Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, Superflex consists of Jakob Fenger, Bjørnsterne Christiansen, and Rasmus who have been collaborating together since 1993. It is hard to do justice to the work of Superflex as the range of their work is nothing less than astonishing, from creating a brand of power-drinks for an Amazonian tribe in Brazil to a television series in Vietnam on Dutch Pirates of the seventeenth century who stole a * Transcript of keynote speech by Rasmus Nielsen at the UC Davis Law Review’s Brand New World symposium, UC Davis School of Law, October 4, 2012. 735 736 University of California, Davis [Vol. 47:735 treasure trove of Southeast Asian porcelain.
