Standing at the corner of Art and Technology

This project contributes to the national economy by addressing the current problem of intellectual property rights infringement in the digital sphere where all forms of visual art are created, bought, sold, and traded.

Policymakers, scholars, and Australian artists are all concerned about fakes, imitations, and the lack of trust and transparency in these global transactions. By working with change-makers such as the Australian Copyright Council, Copyright Agency, National Association for the Visual Arts, CSIRO-Data61, and Australian Network for Art & Technology, this project shows how the integrity of digital platforms on which artworks are listed and securely traded can be preserved.
