Project Details
Description
This project aims to leverage historical insights to investigate the tensions underlying the legal treatment of visual
works of art. It will generate software and scholarship that trace the relationship between technology and visual
copyright from the first statutory protections of visual artworks in the 18th century through to contemporary
regulation of the dissemination of digital image data via digital publishing platforms. Its significance lies in its
interdisciplinary and innovative investigation of long-standing problems of contemporary copyright law at the
intersection of the visual and digtal domains. It will have impact on law reform and policy development, with
benefits for visual artists, collecting institutions and the public
works of art. It will generate software and scholarship that trace the relationship between technology and visual
