This video argue that to copy isn't stealing. It raises an interesting semantic question. One could take copying like flattery, or not. Or take it from Picasso that stealing is the mark of a great artist. Thing is, in the eyes of the law, copy is really not the same as stealing.

Too close for comfort!

Oliver Laric lançou dois documentários sobre a cópia, a interpretação e reinterpretação, o plágio, etc. Feio ou bonito, é um assunto polémico. Estes dois vídeos fizeram-me pensar. Infelizmente não consegui fazer um "embed". Mas podem ser vistos aqui: Versions 2009 e Versions 2010. É o mesmo mesmo mas diferente.

Saiu um documentário que se chama "Good Copy Bad Copy" que também está muito interessante. Este explora os direitos de autor e como a prerrogativa deste se altera com o advente da internet. Nas palavras do Deto, é comercialoide mas do bom.

Located inside a warehouse loft of [130 square meters] with no partition, this project is a house within a house.

The design engages two architectural issues: inside/outside and S/XL. It compacts the material possessions of the subject into one oversized briefcase - so large that the subject sleeps inside of it. The residual gap outside of the Briefcase House to the limits of the warehouse loft can be considered a super wall-cavity and rendered as blackened thick wall in an architectural plan. Conversely, when the subject occupies the wall-cavity for other activities, the house can be considered a solid obstruction. This project delineates the qualification of conceptual poche by the swerve of the architectural figure-ground and the blackening of thick-wall or the private volume. Furthermore, it blurs the boundary between the definition of XL furniture and S building.

The concept and program have a literal story and are beautifully depicted in graphic novel fashion.
