Andy Warhol eating burgers, the Danish cultural canon re-enacted and the 
history of Italian Hacktivism.
A seminar on Copying, Re-enactment and Hacktivism at Entré Scenen in Århus.

It doesn’t make sense to talk about originality in art: any artwork is 
the result of previous relationships and ideas developed by the artist 
collaborating with other people in an ongoing process.
It is even more complex to discuss originality on the Internet: any file 
can be reproduced to the infinite with no loss of quality, and every 
copy is identical to the original.

This seminar will focus on methods and ideas of Copying, Re-enactment 
and Hacktivism within contemporary arts practice. The notion of 
originality is altered within a contemporary arts practice where the use 
of references, sampling, re-enactment, copying and hacking is a common 
phenomena.

What happens to copyrights as a phenomenon when artist starts neglecting it?
What is the influence of this kind of arts-practice on our perception of 
cultural identity?
What happens with the role of the author, artist and the art works?

The seminar is presented by: Digital Urban Living & Digital Aesthetics 
Research Center, Entré Scenen and LiminalDK

Includes the book launch of the English version of “The Net as Artwork” 
by Tatiana Bazzichelli and a ticket to the performance “Mastercopy” at
