As the tide of a more democratically produced culture laps at the foundation of institutions, questions about what constitutes an “authorized image”—and how this might be shared—have unnerved traditional protocols and troubled longstanding income streams (whereby museums earn revenue from image reproduction). Artist Oliver Laric’s “Lincoln 3D Scans” enters these debates through a loophole that recasts the nature of the image and propels it towards new audiences.

An Incomplete Timeline of Online Exhibitions and Biennials Oliver Laric 

http://rhizome.org/art/artbase/artwork/an-incomplete-timeline-of-online-exhibitions-and-biennials/ This concise history is an HTML page that offers a partial list of online exhibitions and biennials that took place from 1991-2013, with short text descriptions of each and several screen captures of the projects included. Oliver Laric created this work in response to an invitation to participate in BiennaleOnline 2013, an online exhibition that opened on April 26, 2013. Organizers ARTPLUS had described the project as "the first exclusively online biennial exhibition of contemporary art." Described in its title as "incomplete," Laric's timeline should not seen as an authoritative history of the online exhibition, but as an artist's response to this ahistorical assertion.

http://publicdomainreview.org/ “Founded in 2011, The Public Domain Review is an online journal and not-for-profit project dedicated to the exploration of curious and compelling works from the history of art, literature, and ideas. In particular, as our name sugggests, the focus is on works which have now fallen into the public domain, that vast commons of out-of-copyright material that everyone is free to enjoy, share, and build upon without restriction. Our aim is to promote and celebrate the public domain in all its abundance and variety, and help our readers explore its rich terrain – like a small exhibition gallery at the entrance to an immense network of archives and storage rooms that lie beyond. With a focus on the surprising, the strange, and the beautiful, we hope to provide an ever-growing cabinet of curiosities for the digital age, a kind of hyperlinked Wunderkammer – an archive of content which truly celebrates the breadth and diversity of our shared cultural commons and the minds that have made it.”

Open! (www.onlineopen.org) is an online international publishing platform that fosters and disseminates experimental knowledge on art, culture and the public domain. It is the digital continuation of the printed journal Open. Cahier on Art & the Public Domain (2004-2012). Open! explores the changing conditions of the public domain and new viewpoints on publicness from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives within art and theory. The platform thinks over our current notion of the commons and the common, ownership and power relationships, and explores the consequences of privatization, mediatization and globalization processes on our social and cultural practices. Open! works with theorists, artists and designers who contribute to the creation of an experimental and critical body of thought. The site offers a living archive and an experimental knowledge environment for publishing, researching and reading online. It is addressing a global community of peers: art and theory students, artists, theorists and researchers, curators and activists.

Biophilia is an extraordinary and innovative multimedia exploration of music, nature and technology by the musician Björk. Comprising a suite of original music and interactive, educational artworks and musical artifacts, Biophilia is released as ten in-app experiences that are accessed as you fly through a three-dimensional galaxy that accompanies the album’s theme song Cosmogony. All of the album’s songs are available inside Biophilia as interactive experiences: Crystalline, Virus, Moon, Thunderbolt, Sacrifice, Mutual Core, Hollow, Solstice, and Dark Matter. Björk has collaborated with artists, designers, scientists, instrument makers, writers and software developers to create an extraordinary multimedia exploration of the universe and its physical forces, processes and structures - of which music is a part. Each in-app experience is inspired by and explores the relationships between musical structures and natural phenomena, from the atomic to the cosmic. You can use Biophilia to make and learn about music, to find out about natural phenomena, or to just enjoy Björk’s music.

Sam Lavigne and Tega Brain: The Good Life http://www.newmuseum.org/exhibitions/view/sam-lavigne-and-tega-brain-the-good-life Rhizome and New Museum  “ Machine learning is widely used in contemporary digital culture, for tasks that range from the analysis of consumer habits to suggesting auto-replies on email threads. Before systems can analyze or generate new text, they must be given an existing body of text to study. Very often, the text they are given is the Enron email corpus.”
