John Clare, Jimmy Wales and the Right to be Forgotten, Borowczyk Retrospective
Matthew Sweet talks to Iain Sinclair about poet John Clare, and Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales discusses the implications of the 'right to be forgotten' legislation.
Iain Sinclair is marking today's 150th anniversary of the death of the poet John Clare by making a film with Andrew Kotting about Clare's walks and writing. He talks to Matthew Sweet about Clare along with New Generation Thinker Dr Greg Tate.
As a European court backs the "right to be forgotten" - legislation allowing people to ask search engines to remove unwanted information from their indexes - Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales and Viktor Mayer-Sch枚nberger, Professor of Internet Governance and Regulation at the Oxford Internet Institute, discuss how privacy vs expression and remembering vs forgetting clash in the internet age.
Also, an assessment of Polish filmmaker Walerian Borowczyk with writer and psychoanalyst Cherry Potter and curator Daniel Bird.
