Copyrighting the President is a thought-provoking look at the president’s image, and how it’s protected by NBC and the media at large. The piece is Authored by none other than the net.copyright man himself, Lawrence Lessig.
The artthrob project this month is - well, actually… there are two sound projects, and then a ‘back at the ranch’ feature. First is a call for sound - as mp3s - for a remix work by petit sono, and the second is a collection by Otis F Odder.
The ranch bit, which is much more exciting for Joburg, actually features work by my students at Wits School of the Arts, giving them praise for the interactive installations at their mid-term show. The article has a bad link to their work, which is actually here. Above is a pic of Saul Garcia inviting onlookers into his interactive performance, Departures.
