The Artliberated Network and Artliberated.org
Palle Torsson in collaboration with piratbyran.org is proud to present Artliberated.org.
The Artliberated Network will consist of unique professionals in art, law and research. And support visual artists when a work is confronted with legal threats and when a work is being censored either on moral or on copyright grounds.
The Artliberated Network will work as the needed stabilizer between the artist and censorship opponents by providing the artist with power and knowledge. And will provide hands on help with specific case and provide general guiding how to act in copyright matters in the visual arts. The Artliberated Network will also work to change and reform the relationship between the artist and companies, in the public interest of free flow of information and ideas.
The project will be structured around the web site with a database of reference cases were new cases are documented and historical researched. The web site will also work as the center and administrative tool for the network of artist, lawyers, institutions, curators, galleries, software programmers. Researcher and the general public will be provided free access to the website.
We strongly believe that active participation in society is a key to engagement, history and democracy. This requires not only passive consumption of cultural products but the possibility the change the meaning of these products. And that nothing is done in isolation and that change and art fundamentally conflicts with a protective use of the idea of copyright.
By providing artist with this network we think we can make our cultural heritage greater and give a new embodiment to creation in the digital age.
