Modern Authorship: Richard Prince and Monkey Selfies

Saturday, March 12
11:00AM - 12:00PM

Westin Austin Downtown
Paramount 1
310 E 5th ST

Through the dissection of two case studies, this panel will explore (a) what authorship means in today’s culture and (b) how the law is interacting with artistic expression that is pushing the bounds of what we’d traditionally define as authorship. First, we will begin our exploration by discussing a shift in fair use doctrine that has allowed artists like Richard Prince to appropriate others’ images (see his New Portraits installation) with little legal risk. Second, we will examine the Copyright Office’s recent micro-examination of images created by non-human means, including the infamous monkey-selfie case.
