Watch this space for a detailed announcement of the date, time, topic, and
participants in the CAA Committee on Intellectual Property's session in
Atlanta next February.
Meanwhile, CAA's Publications Committee has a session in Atlanta that will
be of interest to CIP members too. Date and time to come shortly:
CAA Publications Committee
"Between 0 and 1: Digital Rights and the Future of Art Images Online"
Chair: Eve Sinaiko, CAA
Christine Kuan, Grove Art Online, Oxford University Press
Max Marmor, ARTstor
Ted Feder, Artists Rights Society
Joy Garnett, independent artist
This session addresses the complex issues surrounding the use of art images
online. Speakers discuss the importance of the online art image for
students, scholars, librarians, publishers, and artists-particularly its
role in the development of online educational resources; furthering new art
and new scholarship; and preserving intact, searchable digital archives of
past scholarship.
The panelists will present different viewpoints on art
images online and
explore key questions: What are the aims of providing online information and
how are art images vital to that goal? What does the art image online
enable/disable in academic and artistic communities? What art images are
available online? Why is access restricted to some images and not others?
What permissions are needed for use of images online? What are the needs and
rights of artists regarding art images online? How do institutions and
individuals further art appreciation and scholarship through digital media
and also protect image collections? How do we satisfy the hunger for art
images and safeguard images from copyright infringement? What distinctions
should or can be made between commercial and noncommercial use?
As CAA's various constituencies negotiate this complicated
terrain, we look
to intellectual-property laws concerning fair use and the public domain to
provide longterm viable solutions for the use of art images online for our
communities.
