Abstract

Public Domain - integrated research portfolio consisting of an investigation into artists' use of copyright-free content in the creation of new works distributed online and offline. The timely investigation marked the changing landscape of copy-left creative production and the role of both open access and closed databases of moving image work online in the creation of new work, and the national geographically designated legal boundaries of artistic reuse. The 4500 words illustrated journal article expanded the scope of the research to include further findings concerning the work of other international artists and was published in a special issue devoted to remix practices.
