Open Music Archive presented at Open Congress (Tate Britain 7th-8th October 2005)

[http://opencongress.omweb.org Open Congress] was Inspired by Free Software: software that challenges conventional practices of authorship, ownership and distribution. The innovative congress explored these implications for art, visual culture and cultural production in general.

For Open Congress, Open Music Archive presented a DJ set of music made entirely of samples of out-of-copyright music recordings, mainly sourced from 1920s 78rpm records. An accompanying [[Open Congress slideshow images | slideshow]] uncovered the process of tracking this material.
