This project aims to leverage historical insights to investigate the tensions underlying the legal treatment of visual works of art. It will generate software and scholarship that trace the relationship between technology and visual copyright from the first statutory protections of visual artworks in the 18th century through to contemporary regulation of the dissemination of digital image data via digital publishing platforms. Its significance lies in its interdisciplinary and innovative investigation of long-standing problems of contemporary copyright law at the intersection of the visual and digtal domains. It will have impact on law reform and policy development, with benefits for visual artists, collecting institutions and the public.
