Because I need to feed the geek in me.

 

Congrats to Stan Douglas!

Stan Douglas has won the Canada Council Bell Award in Video Art. The CBC article mentions that some of his work are remakes of old films. This was something he mentioned at an Art Talk he presented at the Perimeter Institute in Waterloo last year. One of his films (which, sadly, I haven’t been able to see) is a remake of The Outrage (1964)/Rashômon.

Other winners of the award include Paul Wong, Sara Diamond and Vera Frenkel, who were  at the Visual Arts Summit.

Pay Close Attention Now…

William Patry writes about an interesting situation where a UK ad agency has produced an ad which is strikingly similar to a video produced by University of Illinois professor Daniel Simons (includes links to both videos). Patry also points to the Bike Biz article, which includes a statement from professor Simons.

What I find interesting about this situation is that it raises questions of the line between an idea and its realization. What is fair for both the original creator and a creator who builds from that work? And, perhaps more to-the-point, what part of the idea is unique to the realization?
