How to organize an international, collaborative workshop on art, technology and copyright law during a global pandemic? Use Minecraft! In April 2021, the ArTechLaw project organized and hosted an academic workshop in a virtual Minecraft reality that required participants to creatively work with digital representations of world-famous cultural heritage sites and copyright licenses to ultimately reflect on issues of decolonization at the interface of art, tech and law.
During this seminar, Prof. Stina Teilmann-Lock (Copenhagen Business School) and Andrea Wallace (Exeter) share their experiences from the ArTechLaw Minecraft summit, which was an attempt to reinvent online workshopping and conferencing during global lockdown. They will talk about the 3D models of the Arch of Triumph in Palmyra, Syria, Hoa Hakananai’a, and Nefertiti that had been prepared for Minecraft by the visual artist Antonio Roberts, and about the discussions regarding the licensing of the rebuilt, reproduced and remixed digital artifacts created by the participants of the ArTechLaw Minecraft Summit. Participatory creators were applying open licenses designed by Creative Commons and alternative licenses like Anti-Capitalist Software License; Climate Strike License; CoopCycle License; Cooperative Software License; Decolonial Media License and many more.
We look forward to looking back with you, setting thinking free after lockdown.
The seminar will be held in hybrid format (see Room and Zoom details below).
