\n\t\"\" HERA Of Authorship and Originality Project Public Conference
\n\tAmsterdam, 26 April 2013.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t
\n\tWhat fresh perspectives can viewing copyright law through a  Humanities’ looking glass bring to key notions of  tomorrow’s copyright law? That was the central concern which ran throughout the research project at the heart of this conference.
\n\tIn the construction and analysis of copyright norms, economic and technological concerns have long dominated the debate. Insights from such diverse disciplines as literary studies, musicology, film studies, philosophy of art and media studies on notions of authorship and originality have gone largely unnoticed.
\n\t 
\n\tThis conference brought together a rich variety of academics and artists. Speakers and panelists included professor Barton Beebe<\/strong> (NYU Law School), professor Lionel Bently<\/strong> (U Cambridge),  dr. Laura Biron<\/strong> (U Cambridge),  professor Martha Buskirk<\/strong> (Montserrat College of Art), dr. Elena Cooper<\/strong> (U Cambridge), professor Mireille van Eechoud<\/strong> (U Amsterdam), dr. Stef van Gompel <\/strong>(U Amsterdam), professor Jostein Gripsrud<\/strong> (U Bergen), professor David Hesmondhalgh<\/strong> (U Leeds), professor Bernt Hugenholtz<\/strong> (U Amsterdam), professor Peter Jaszi<\/strong> (American University Washington), dr Nick Lambert<\/b> (U of London), dr Erlend Lavik<\/strong> (U of Bergen), professor Derek Matravers<\/strong> (Open University) and Joseph Nechvatal<\/strong>.
\n\t 
\n\t With the audience they critically reflected on issues such as:
\n\t 
\n\t\u25aa The diverse ways in which relations between creative contributors are perceived in creative communities and how this reflects (or should reflect) in copyright law;
\n\t\u25aa Can central insights from analytic philosophy of art help shape norms about joint works of authorship?:
\n\t\u25aa What are the functions of authorship in  copyright law and to what extent are existing legal conceptions sufficiently flexible to accommodate shifts in production practices?:
\n\t\u25aa What role aesthetics ought, and ought not, to play in copyright law;

\n\t<\/a>Assembly (Creativity that Counts?)<\/span><\/strong>
\n\tby  Agency<\/span>
\n\t 
\n\tSpeculating on the question “how can collectives become included within art practices?”, Agency calls forth the controversy Thing 001621 (Dead Son Drawn by Psychic Artist).<\/em><\/strong>
\n\t 
\n\tThing 001621 (Dead Son Drawn by Psychic Artist)<\/em> concerns a legal court case around the collaboration of a drawing by a psychic artist and will convene an assembly in order to bear witness. Collectively we will revisit the discussion during this controversy and a group of various concerned guests will be invited to respond: Johan Gustavsson (artist), Peter Jaszi (copyright scholar), Coral Ryder (spirit portrait  artist), Steve Rushton (writer, editor and curator), etc.
\n\t 
\n\tAgency is an art initiative that was founded in 1992 by Kobe Matthys and has its office in Brussels. It mainly constitutes a growing 'list of things' that resist the split between culture and nature. This list is mostly derived from legal cases and controversies involving intellectual property.  Agency calls things forth from its list via varying assemblies inside exhibitions, performances, publications, etc. Every assembly poses a different speculative question. The series of questions explores in a topological way the operative consequences of the apparatus of intellectual property for an ecology of art practices.
\n\t 
\n\tMost recently Agency presented assemblies at Musée de la danse, Rennes (2013), Les Laboratoires d'Aubervilliers, Aubervilliers (2012), Objectif-Exhibitions, Antwerpen (2011), The Showroom, London (2011), Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis (2010) and in the group exhibitions “Resonance” at Goethe Institute New York, “Mind the System, Find the Gap” at Z33 Hasselt (2012),  "Animism" at Extra City and M HKA Antwerp, at Kunsthalle Bern, at Generali Foundation Vienna, at Haus der Kulturen der Welt Berlin (2009 -12), “Grand Domestic Revolution” at Casco Utrecht (2011-2012), "Speech Matters" Venice (2011), "Watchmen, Liars, Dreamers" at Le Plateau, Paris (2010), etc.<\/p>\n

What fresh perspectives can viewing copyright law through a  Humanities’ looking glass bring to key notions of  tomorrow’s copyright law? That was the central concern which ran throughout the research project at the heart of this conference. In the construction and analysis of copyright norms, economic and technological concerns have long dominated the debate. Insights from such diverse disciplines as literary studies, musicology, film studies, philosophy of art and media studies on notions of authorship and originality have gone largely unnoticed.   This conference brought together a rich variety of academics and artists. Speakers and panelists included professor Barton Beebe (NYU Law School), professor Lionel Bently (U Cambridge),  dr. Laura Biron (U Cambridge),  professor Martha Buskirk (Montserrat College of Art), dr. Elena Cooper (U Cambridge), professor Mireille van Eechoud (U Amsterdam), dr. Stef van Gompel (U Amsterdam), professor Jostein Gripsrud (U Bergen), professor David Hesmondhalgh (U Leeds), professor Bernt Hugenholtz (U Amsterdam), professor Peter Jaszi (American University Washington), dr Nick Lambert (U of London), dr Erlend Lavik (U of Bergen), professor Derek Matravers (Open University) and Joseph Nechvatal.    With the audience they critically reflected on issues such as:   \u25aa The diverse ways in which relations between creative contributors are perceived in creative communities and how this reflects (or should reflect) in copyright law; \u25aa Can central insights from analytic philosophy of art help shape norms about joint works of authorship?: \u25aa What are the functions of authorship in  copyright law and to what extent are existing legal conceptions sufficiently flexible to accommodate shifts in production practices?: \u25aa What role aesthetics ought, and ought not, to play in copyright law;   Programme:   9.30 Registration, coffee\/tea 10.00-10.45 Welcome, by Chair Bernt Hugenholtz   Voices near and far – Digital authorship and creativity debates in law, by Mireille van Eechoud (PL\/PI University of Amsterdam)   Humanities and copyright, by Jostein Gripsrud (PI University of Bergen) 11.00-11.45 Copyright Law & Aesthetics   Judging originality – Copyright law’s peculiar notion of creative work, by Stef van Gompel   The role of aesthetics in copyright law, by Erlend Lavik   Joint authorship doctrine – Insights from philosophy of art, by Laura Biron   [refreshments break] 12.00-13.00 Panel discussion with Barton Beebe, Martha Buskirk, Derek Matravers, Joseph Nechvatal 13.00 Lunch (on location) 14.00-15.00 Authorship in practice   Disaggregating the authorship function as a response to discontinuities between legal and social conceptions of authorship, by Lionel Bently (PI University of Cambridge)   Hierarchically ordered individuals: Collective production in theatre and popular music, by Jostein Gripsrud   Authorship and Copyright: Reassessing the Challenge of the Digital, by  Elena Cooper   [refreshments break] 15.30-16.30 Panel discussion with David Hesmondhalgh, Nick Lambert & Peter Jaszi   Question round & Wrap up 17.00-18.00 Drinks & tapas at Compagnietheater 18.00-20.00 Assembly (Creativity That Counts?) by Agency at Compagnietheater   Panelists:   Barton Beebe Professor of Law at New York University School of Law, USA.

Assembly (Creativity that Counts?) by  Agency   Speculating on the question “how can collectives become included within art practices?”, Agency calls forth the controversy Thing 001621 (Dead Son Drawn by Psychic Artist).   Thing 001621 (Dead Son Drawn by Psychic Artist) concerns a legal court case around the collaboration of a drawing by a psychic artist and will convene an assembly in order to bear witness. Collectively we will revisit the discussion during this controversy and a group of various concerned guests will be invited to respond: Johan Gustavsson (artist), Peter Jaszi (copyright scholar), Coral Ryder (spirit portrait  artist), Steve Rushton (writer, editor and curator), etc.   Agency is an art initiative that was founded in 1992 by Kobe Matthys and has its office in Brussels. It mainly constitutes a growing 'list of things' that resist the split between culture and nature. This list is mostly derived from legal cases and controversies involving intellectual property.  Agency calls things forth from its list via varying assemblies inside exhibitions, performances, publications, etc. Every assembly poses a different speculative question. The series of questions explores in a topological way the operative consequences of the apparatus of intellectual property for an ecology of art practices.   Most recently Agency presented assemblies at Musée de la danse, Rennes (2013), Les Laboratoires d'Aubervilliers, Aubervilliers (2012), Objectif-Exhibitions, Antwerpen (2011), The Showroom, London (2011), Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis (2010) and in the group exhibitions “Resonance” at Goethe Institute New York, “Mind the System, Find the Gap” at Z33 Hasselt (2012),  "Animism" at Extra City and M HKA Antwerp, at Kunsthalle Bern, at Generali Foundation Vienna, at Haus der Kulturen der Welt Berlin (2009 -12), “Grand Domestic Revolution” at Casco Utrecht (2011-2012), "Speech Matters" Venice (2011), "Watchmen, Liars, Dreamers" at Le Plateau, Paris (2010), etc. OOR project partners: Institute for Information Law University of Amsterdam Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law University of Cambridge   Department of Information Science and Media Studies University of Bergen       The OOR project is financially supported by the HERA Joint Research Programme (http:\/\/www.heranet.info) which is co- funded by AHRC, AKA, DASTI, ETF, FNR, FWF, HAZU, IRCHSS, MHEST, NWO, RANNIS, RCN, VR and The European Community FP7 2007-2013, under the Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities programme.  ","og_url":"https:\/\/www.ivir.nl\/nl\/activities\/creativity-that-counts-of-authorship-and-originality-project-public-conference\/","og_site_name":"IVIR","article_modified_time":"2022-07-22T14:07:01+00:00","og_image":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.creativitythatcounts.org\/images\/EmblemeEuropeenFP7.jpg","type":"","width":"","height":""}],"twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_site":"@ivir_uva","twitter_misc":{"Geschatte leestijd":"7 minuten"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.ivir.nl\/nl\/activities\/creativity-that-counts-of-authorship-and-originality-project-public-conference\/","url":"https:\/\/www.ivir.nl\/nl\/activities\/creativity-that-counts-of-authorship-and-originality-project-public-conference\/","name":"Creativity that Counts?
