30 September 2014 03:40:55 Could Taking a Selfie in a Museum Violate Copyright Law?
Copyright infringement is everywhere. A few years back, John Tehranian wrote a paper and then a book about just how much copyright infringement happens incidentally on a daily basis. The conclusion, from a back of the envelope estimate, is that an average person is likely liable for $4.544 billion in incidental infringement in a normal year. And that's not for sharing music and movies and what not, but just doing the normal everyday things you do.

25 August 2012 22:37:47 Disorganize, Sudden and Joyful Visual Illusions of the Argentine Artist Leandro Erlich
Leandro Erlich was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1973. An architect of the uncertain, Erlich creates spaces with fluid and unstable boundaries. Before one tries to make sense of his sculptures and installations, one senses the uncanny. A single change (up is down, inside is out) can be enough to upset the seemingly normal situation, collapsing and exposing our reality as counterfeit. Through this transgression of limits, the artist undermines certain absolutes and the institutions that reinforce them.

The Western art world's hegemony is on its last legs, or at least so it would seem according to a recent report showing the extent of the Chinese art market's fantastic boom. According to "The Global Art Market in 2010," a study commissioned by the Netherlands-based European Fine Art Foundation, last year China became the second largest market in the world with a global share of 23 percent. The United States remained in first place with 34 percent, with Britain downgraded from second to the third position with 22 percent (59 percent of the EU total). Already impressive, these figures were then questioned by the analysis of Artprice, which — focusing only on sales at public auctions — declared China to in fact be the dominant art market in the world, with 33 percent of the global sales.
