Last night’s CC Salon San Francisco was probably the best so far, with just the right mix of art, legal, and technology mixed in the three excellent presentations. If you’re involved in U.S. politics, or make art that critiques U.S. politics, you must check out Metavid, the first presenters — keyword searchable public domain footage from the U.S. Congress in high quality open format with cool remediator applications coming. Special thanks to the large contingent from the EFF in attendance, source of the evening’s most provocative questions.

Coming up May 16 there will be a CC Salon in Toronto and the 29th in Berlin. The next San Francisco Salon is June 14.
