The exhibition Paper struggles<\/em><\/strong> is an extension of the Public Library<\/strong><\/em> project. Since 2012 Public Library<\/strong><\/em> has developed exhibitions, publications, digital tools and public debate to further the cause of the universal access to knowledge and culture. The project is a critical and practical investigation of how the intellectual property regime limits that right and serves as a regulatory mechanism of uneven access to culture, science and research that results in a growing gap in education, expertise and social development between the economically most advanced countries and countries of (semi-)peripheries such as Croatia.<\/p>\n

The exhibition features projects: Rameshwari Photocopy Services legal case, Kenneth Goldsmith\u2019s Printing out the Internet; Monoskop\u2019s Architercture & Anthropocene, Memory of the World\u2019s Catalogue by Slowrotation; Walt Willis & Bob Shaw: Za\u010darana kopirka<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The exhibition documents how struggles over access to knowledge, in the context of global economic inequalities and inequalities in the \u201eknowledge society\u201d, materialise in the form of print, photocopy and printout. The digital networks have expanded the volume of available text exponentially since to the days of print. So much so that if we were to print out a catalogue of books that we can store a personal computer hard-drive, the catalogue would require a couple of large volumes of fine print. Yet, in many situations and many societies, reading from paper still remains the preferred way of accessing knowledge.<\/p>\n

At the same time, pirate copying and distribution we tend to perceive as a phenomenon of digital culture. However, the dissemination of knowledge before the digital depended crucially on photocopying and pirate re-prints. Photocopied books and articles passed down from generation to generation and from scientist to scientist have enabled many to finish their studies, to become scientists and to teach younger generations. The \u201eknowledge society\u201d three decades ago would not have been conceivable without the illegal sharing of knowledge, just as the \u201eknowledge society\u201d today isn’t conceivable without the illegal sharing of knowledge. Therefore, the past and the future of struggles over access to knowledge can be gleaned from paper struggles.<\/p>\n
