**STRATEGIES OF SHARING: THE DEPTFORD.TV PROJECT*
*
How can we produce collaborative work within a creative or artistic 
context? Which are the complexities of such an undertaking? Which are 
the strategies of sharing?

Deptford.TV is a research project on collaborative film-making initiated 
by Adnan Hadzi in collaboration with the Deckspace media lab, Bitnik 
collective, Boundless project, Liquid Culture initiative, and Goldsmiths 
College. The project started on September 2005. It is an online media 
database documenting the regeneration process of Deptford, in South-East 
London. Deptford.TV functions as an open, collaborative platform that 
allows artists, filmmakers and people living and working around Deptford 
to store, share, re-edit and redistribute the documentation of the 
regeneration process.

Deptford.TV is an open, collaborative project, which means that:
a) audiences can become producers by submitting their own footage,
b) the interface that is being used enables the contributors to discuss 
and interact with each other through the database.

Deptford.TV is a form of 'television', since audiences are able to 
choose edited 'timelines' they would like to watch; at the same time 
they have the option to comment on or change the actual content. 
Deptford.TV makes use of licenses such as the Creative Commons and Gnu 
General Public License to allow and enhance this politics of sharing.

In the summer of 2006 we asked some of the contributors of the 
Deptford.TV project to give us feedback about their experience of 
working together and sharing the outcomes of this collaboration –whereas 
film, software, sound, live performance or other– not just with each 
other, but with everybody interested. Our aim was to understand and 
illuminate the strategies employed in various practices of sharing. As 
Deptford.TV is not affiliated with any one institution, we do not need 
to ensure any 'politically correct' answers. Instead, we aim to 
accommodate some raw, 'un-beautified' responses –just like the 
Deptford.TV database hosts rough, primary materials audiences do not 
normally have access to.
