The question itself belies a dated approach to a medium that is rapidly becoming antiquated and which could, in very short order, find itself totally obsolete.

ABOUT:

ScreenHereAfter is a research group dedicated to studying the history of the moving picture. From the vast panoramas of the 19th century that refocused the concept of an image as illusion, not just representation; to film flapping across its reel; to the digital age we find ourselves now -- society is bound up in an ever-changing cultural and technological machine that affects not only how we interact in the world, but how we perceive it. It is our purpose to examine the moving image’s past so that we might predict its future.


Our cadre includes writers, artists, filmmakers, actors, and emergent-media scholars at the University of Texas at Dallas. We welcome any and all commentary from visitors who have their own insights to add -- hope you join the conversation.

remix, ownership, and the author function

In Lessig's book, there is an interesting tension between the “thee-regarding” motivations for content creation and the principle of ownership. Lessig makes a nuanced point that offering up your computer for the SETI@home project, contributing content to Creative Commons, or donating time to Wikipedia clean-up are not necessarily gestures of self-sacrifice. He asks, “Why do people do these things for free rather than, say, watching television?” (175). In comparing television with other forms of… Continue

I pirated Girl Talk WAYYY before I read this book, watched this movie or even had this class.

At first, Lawrence Lessig's intentions seemed to go against what I expected. Like Rip, Lessig used Girl Talk as one of his key arguments of what the music industry and ultimately our own culture seems to be shifting to. He argues that music needs to be shared to grow, to compete and truly improve. He pushes for the acceptance of digitality and that this change will not completely destroy the concept of the original creative act.



Lessig juxtaposes our current day copyright dilemma with… Continue
