Space Odyssey

An allegory perhaps of what digital literacy means to me?

"Let the awe and mystery of a journey unlike any other begin."

The sublime in action I'd say!

Case study 1
George Harrison vs The Chiffons
My score was 3 x 4 and 3 x 1 so a pretty even contest. As I'm no copyright expert I guess I have to leave the decision to the professionals! I think there would generally be a different audience that each song would appeal to.

Case study 2
Lebbeus Woods vs 12 Monkeys
Yes there is definitely a similarity between the chairs.
The judge ruled for Woods, a result that would require Universal Studios pull all copies of the movie from world-wide circulation after only a month's run. Showing that he had a sense of humor, Lebbeus Woods allowed Universal to continue distribution of the movie, chair and all, for a high six-figure cash settlement!
A similar outcome regarding the art on the tshirt case would have been good to see, instead of bullying tactics from a large company.

Case study 3
Oh so criminal
I thought this was a clever way to get the message, albeit illegal, about 'fair use' across to a wider audience that would appreciate his views and in a language that is more accessible too! I guess it would be considered a parody, therefore does not infringe any copyright laws.

As for flickr, incredibly slow and frustrating broadband at home today so it will have to wait.

Exhibition poster

This is an initial idea for our forthcoming exhibition. I like the simplicity and limited colour but it needs a reference to ceramics as well!
