Of People Not Machines: Authorship, Copyright and the Computer Programmer
Authorship of computer programs merits close attention, on one level, because it illustrates what is one of my more general observations about the relationship between ideas of authorship in law and the "digital arts": its complexity. The sphere of "digital arts" is characterised by a multiplicity of creative practices and consequently a diversity of ideas about “authorship”, which resist simplistic conclusions as to what the challenge of the digital should mean for law. At the same time, the status of computer programmers as authors draws attention to what for modern lawyers is likely to be an unexpected and counter-intuitive observation about certain aspects of the relation between digital art and law: far from always a source of challenge, the discourses of authorship in the "digital arts" can also provide the law with assistance. Indeed, as we will see, in humanising technology and exalting the computer programmer as a creative poet, certain discourses of digital art can in fact provide coherence and legitimacy to legal concepts of authorship, rather than challenging them.

A crissxross trail < R3/\/\1X\/\/0RX: one remix player's scenic route through remixworx
A crissxross trail < R3/\/\1X\/\/0RX is a meta-remix of the artist's personal creative journey through remixworx, a collaborative online remixing project. Conceived as a poetic interactive infographic with lots of multimedia animated content, this 'scenic route' presents a sample trail of 33 out of the 100 remixes that Christine Wilks (aka crissxross) has created since joining remixworx in January 2007. The trail includes a text commentary about her experience of remixing and co-creating over the past six years. A crissxross trail < R3/\/\1X\/\/0RX: one remix player's scenic route through remixworx formed the core of Christine Wilks's presentation for the ELMCIP Conference on Remediating the Social in November 2012.
