Seminar: The Moral Rights of Authors in the Age of Cognitive Capitalism

This public seminar will examine moral rights (droit moraux) in terms of the editioning, dissemination,exhibition, and archiving of bespoke works as part of an artist/author’s “lifework” – privileging aspects of such singular works that are positioned at thetime of their inception, or retrospectively, as forms of transmedia; i.e.,works that cross disciplinary boundaries and utilize multiple mediaticplatforms toward progressive and/or no discernible ends.
