The key elements of an open video culture are the capacities and opportunities for participation, fair use of existing media and transparency. However, from a human rights perspective, issues of consent, representation and revictimization emerge in an open and networked online environment of rework- ing, remixing and recirculating video and other imagery. How do we go about “in- corporating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights” into the “terms of ser- vice” of both open video culture and broader online video? How do we introduce ideas around consent and human dignity into the broader ecosystem? How do we respect cultural worlds where transparency is not always a desired outcome, as certain images should not be seen by outsiders, by the uninitiated, or by opposite genders? What can be learnt from the experiences of remix culture, fan fiction and political use of remixing to-date? moderator: Sameer Padania — Manager, the Hub (hub.witness.org) panelist: Faye Ginsburg — Director of the Center for Media and Professor, NYU panelist: Lea Shaver — Fellow, Yale ISP panelist: Sam Gregory — Program Director, WITNESS
