I'm a painter based in New York, and I was an artist-in-residence at iSummit in Dubrovnik (fun!). My method as an artist entails appropriating mass media-distributed photographs mostly from the Internet and re-enacting them as paintings. I edit several blogs, notably NEWSgrist: where spin is art > http://newsgrist.typepad.com. My entry into the discussion of the commons came with my involvement in a copyfight called 'Joywar': after I was threatened with a lawsuit by photographer Susan Meiselas over a painting I had made based on a 1979 photo by Meiselas, I removed the painting's image from my website. Joywar was the name given to the response by fellow artists, who posted countless copies of the painting and agitprop on the net in solidarity. Currently I am interested in understanding and helping to bridge the gaps in understanding between visual artists who hold widely divergent opinions based on a range of (usually erroneous) assumptions about property, creativity, originality, copyright, stealing, public domain, etc. I am thinking in terms of how to apply the clarity of analysis in Benkler's Wealth of Networks to the various visual arts paradigms, especially the artworld paradigm, which has never left the old economic model of luxury commodities that rely on exclusivity and scarcity for their value.

articles · Do photographers really hate Creative Commons licenses?
by Paul Jacobson · voted on 16/1/2008 00:46 · 70 votes · 2 comments
Brianna linked to a post on Black Star Rising titled "Why Photographers Hate Creative Commons" which raises a number of important issues and highlights a number of misconceptions about CC licenses.
At the risk of repeating much of what I posted the other day on the topic of the mainstream media and copyright, I thought I would repeat much of my comment on the Black Star Rising...

articles · Random: DIY Publishing and What's in a Name?

Being at the iSummit is a bit like sitting inside a blizzard of shooting stars of ideas and struggling not to blink. What does that mean? Well, you find yourself on a bus with two publishing experts, discussing the viability of setting up print-on-demand (the experts call it just-in-time printing) facilities in South Africa, and how they would link with the commercial publishers...
