Presentation and archiving of media art in the light of copyright

A workshop held by Dr. Till Kreutzer, Hamburg

The presentation and preservation of media art works is often a delicate issue with regard to copyright restrictions. Interference is often required which can have a bearing on personal rights or editing privileges:

media art installations may require a change to the format of the data or, in the process of archiving, a formatting process may be carried out. In addition, the question is frequently asked which actions are covered by copyright restrictions which grant a legal right of use and therefore allow actions without permission required from the legal owner. Museums and archives are often faced with a dilemma when these questions arise. On the one hand there is the public responsibility to make cultural assets accessible and to look after these. On the other hand as they carry out their duties they must conform to the law. Given the complexity of copyright law, this task is not easy to handle.
The workshop should assist here by communicating the basics of copyright law with the aid of practical examples. The content will particularly address the origin and ownership of rights, the rights to process and make modifications, personal rights and restrictions which are relevant in the context of the workshop (e.g. in particular with respect to archiving law).
