Idea for project 2


For this project I plan on using photographs from NASA’s website which are all in the public domain category, I have not decided what exactly I want to do with this or what concept I want to go with just yet. I would like to just use the images and see where it goes and what seems attractive to the visual eye. In the article Copyrights and Art the rules and laws for using someone else's work in the art world is explained. There are 3 ways to protect your art work. The first of the three options is freeware. Freeware offers copyright protection without charge. The public domain gives you more freedom when using and creating new art out of someone else’s art. The second option, copyright protection, requires a person using your work to pay to use it. The cost can range from $150 for one time use to thousands of dollars. The third and final option is photographs in the public domain. This allows for photos to be used free of charge, photographs that have expired under copyright protection eventually end up in the public domain.

  1. Hi Kristi,
    Sounds interesting! How do you think this idea fits into the project theme of a social critique or commentary? What message or mood will you create by combining and altering these machine-made images?
