Another awesome project from the Rhodes New Media Lab, check out the ‘State of the Arts‘ this week at the second largest festival of its kind in the world: the South African National Arts Festival in Grahamstown. Vincent Maher and the ‘99% Live’ crew are redefining South African interactive journalism as they produce news, reviews and interviews using video, moblogging and multimedia to bring this year’s Festival alive to those of us (sniff!) who aren’t able to make it to the event. Best thing of all is that Rhodes NML is steadily building a pool of re-mixable content through its use of cc licences. The use of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 licence means that the video, pics and multimedia on http://fest.ru.ac.za can, in the future, be re-mixed, re-jigged and re-purposed to generate even more exciting arts and culture on the Net, paving the way for a brighter future in South African digital creativity. Congrats dudes. We wish we were there!
