I would be interested in reactions or responses to the following
contribution to this general debate about the aesthetic issues which are
implicit in the digital revolution and in the use of newer technologies
in
the arts.
"In order for a work to be protected by copyright it must be original in
the
sense that it is not a mere copy of another work. Provided you have
exercised skill and effort in creating a work , the work is likely to be
protected by copyright in its own right, even if it is derived from a
pre-existing work. You will generally own a copyright in your derivative
work"
For me the question at least remains, how does one come to own an image
in
the general area of the digital arts? What is skill and effort? how much
or
how little is needed?
Also how can one copyright what have been called mathematical objects
such
as the now famous mandelbrot set?

I have received a number of responses to my initial questions about the
challenges of the digital revolution in the arts. the question of
aesthetic
ownership of fractal images is especially troublesome to me. As to the
legal
issues, it is of some interest I think that the Alexander Calder estate
insists that all mobliles and mobile like sculptures be removed by gifts
shops at the museums where the large calder show is scheduled. There is
is a
long tradition of borrowing the the visual arts and it seem that these
new
legal questions challenge a very tradition right of all artist to adopt,
modify, borrow, and make use of what has gone before. Fortunately calder
did
not patent the mobile.
please react to some of these ideas.
