Director Helen Baxter joined Oliver Driver on the Sunrise breakfast show for TV3 commenting on the new proposals for revisions to New Zealand Copyright law. Mohawk Media supports the main amendments to S92A but as artists and rightsholders we still believe that internet termination is a step too far, and undermines the basic human right to freedom of speech. Watch the video clip of Helen Baxter from Mohawk Media, New Zealand.

Local brains have been buzzing this weekend as the X|Media|Lab moved their festival of ideas to Auckland. Seventeen international mentors, keynote speakers, plus seventeen projects teams met at the Viaduct Harbour to share their knowledge, experiences and pathways to success. 

This is my third X|Media|Lab to date, though the record holder is Dale Herigstad with six under his belt. I had an inspiring time listening to the diverse keynote speakers from across the globe, and learning about the innovative digital media projects chosen for the Lab workshops. My brain had a full blown information hangover by the end of the weekend, but it was well worth it.
