Join artist, curator and internet technologist Max Baptiste for an insightful and timely discussion on the complexities of intellectual property and the evolving role of “the creator” in the digital age.
In this talk, Max will define the modern creator and explore how the internet has dramatically altered the landscape for artists, writers, photographers, musicians and creators of all kinds, particularly through the often-overlooked fine print of terms and conditions.
As an internet technologist with a deep commitment to his community, Max will share his personal experiences navigating the challenges of intellectual property in an era where content is easily shared, replicated and monetized—often by the platforms we use. He will delve into the implications of online platforms’ terms and conditions, highlighting how these agreements affect our rights, ownership and control over our own input.
The discussion will also address broader questions about the value of creative labor, the ethical responsibilities of platforms and the ways in which creators can advocate for themselves and their peers in this rapidly changing environment. Max’s perspective will offer both practical advice and a thought-provoking critique of the current state of intellectual property, making this talk essential for anyone concerned with the future of creativity in the digital world.
This talk is especially relevant for artists and creators and anyone interested in the intersection of technology, law and IP. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of how to protect their own input and navigate the complexities of intellectual property in today’s connected world.
The talk is free and open to the public; however, limited space is available, so advanced registration is suggested. Fill out the brief registration form https://www.historicsantafe.org/baptiste-november-2024-exhibition or contact Anne Kelly at [email protected]
