PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CONFERENCE WILL BE IN FRENCH.
Studio XX is pleased to launch a new series of Mini-Conferences related
to issues of our day.
Guest Speaker: Ms.
Mayi-Eder Inchauspé, lawyer specializing in Canadian and
French intellectual property issues.
In her presentation, Ms. Inchauspé will outline delicate issues
currently surrounding intellectual property rights. It will first and
foremost outline the philosophical bases of intellectual property
rights and define the concepts behind the following basic terms:
artwork, author, commercial rights, Copywright and Copyleft,
intellectual property, pubic domain and Creative Commons licenses.
Mayi-Eder will draft a picture of copyrights (or intellectual
property). She will do a brief historical survey, clear up terminology
and define concepts behind these terms: artwork, cession and licences,
copyright, copyleft, intellectual right property rigths, public domain,
Creative Commons licences, etc.
The underlying philosophy of Open Source introduced a new way of
thinking, in counterpoint to established practices. This new context
puts into question intellectual property rights.
A deeper understanding of intellectual property rights is the goal of
this conference. Ms. Inchauspé will offer a session allowing artists
and people generally interested by this topic to better understand and
grasp the issues surrounding intellectual property rights.

Electronic Journal .dpi no 13 is now online!
Our new edition entitled Documenting Art and Archives… and What we Choose to Leave Out was launched at DOCAM’s fourth International Summit on Thursday, October 30.
This edition of .dpi focuses on the complex and troublesome relationship between art and the archival process in contemporary society. New technologies are resulting in a proliferation of artistic “documents;” in what way can art be used to archive society? How can that art itself be archived? To what extent can art document itself?

#15 : Web 2.0 : Artistic Creations and Personal Archives
Guest Editor-in-Chief : Paule Mackrous
Date(s) of publication : Thursday, June 11
Deadline for abstract + bio : April
20th 2009
Deadline for completed submissions: May
11th 2009
The aim of this issue is to solicit and publish papers that provide
views on Web 2.0's effects on the notion of archive. The development of
the Web 2.0 technologies generates a wider accessibility of what we
could call “user friendly” interfaces (i.e. YouTube, formatted blogs,
My Space, Facebook, Second Life). Interestingly, these interfaces do
not require the knowledge of computer programming; thereby, they allow
for a greater part of the population to use Internet as a mean to
broadcast their own information. They also allow the stocking of an
important quantity of pictures, texts, videos and sound materials thus
stimulating the creation of personal archives. Some artists seep in the
network using one of these interfaces to generate identity fictions.
While borrowing these pre-established interfaces to create a numerical
character - often without the netsurfers knowing -, these artistic
projects question the boundaries between fiction and reality in the
World Wide Web productions. The experience of micro-narratives and
mini-archives corpus thus generates several questions: Can a set of
individual archives constitute a collective archive? How do these
pre-formatted interfaces modify our archiving conception? How does the
fiction interact with the facts in the archive’s constitution?
We seek contributions which expand on the above themes.
Submissions may be up to 2000 words.
A 50-word abstract is required.
Please also submit a 100-word biographic blurb.
Please send us any intention of contributing.
Deadline for completed submissions: see each topics
A $150 honorarium will be offered for selected texts.
