released under the free art license
With this Free Art License, you are authorized to copy, distribute and freely transform the work of art while respecting the rights of the originator.
Far from ignoring the author’s rights, this license recognizes them and protects them. It reformulates their principle while making it possible for the public to make creative use of the works of art. Whereas current literary and artistic property rights result in restriction of the public’s access to works of art, the goal of the Free Art License is to encourage such access.
The intention is to make work accessible and to authorize the use of its resources by the greatest number of people: to use it in order to increase its use, to create new conditions for creation in order to multiply the possibilities of creation, while respecting the originators in according them recognition and defending their moral rights.
In fact, with the arrival of the digital age, the invention of the Internet and free software, a new approach to creation and production has made its appearance. It also encourages a continuation of the process of experimentation undertaken by many contemporary artists.
Knowledge and creativity are resources which, to be true to themselves, must remain free, i.e. remain a fundamental search which is not directly related to a concrete application. Creating means discovering the unknown, means inventing a reality without any heed to realism. Thus, the object(ive) of art is not equivalent to the finished and defined art object. This is the basic aim of this Free Art License: to promote and protect artistic practice freed from the rules of the market economy.

i have met paul this weekend in new york, and he graciously let me crash at his place. Paul’s work is currently featured at the boston university photographic resource center. this man has traveled more than i probably ever will, even though i’m trying hard 🙂
MOS


i went to the museum of science in boston today. clearly one of the coolest museums i have been to in a long time, with lots of toys such as a 2.5MV van de graaff generator.

there are days when strange things happen in and around somerville. evil is contained by protective shrines.
Over the Rhine
Drew recently put Sooz and me on the guest list of Over the Rhine when they came to town. I enjoyed the concert, not having known the band before. As I remarked to some friends here, I am more on the electronica side and not very fond of guitar music. Over the rhine is a band that definitely helps to reduce my bias 🙂 For the curious, they have quite some mp3 online.
