The work’s title should be considered the ’source code’ of the artifact. The artifact is considered an implementation of the work. Various artifacts may have the same title, if they follow the instructions given in the title. (Many modernist works already follow this pattern, for example “Composition with Yellow, Blue, and Red” by Mondrian).
Variant: Hacked or ‘modded’ versions of the work, where the title is change to accomodate changes, e.g. “Composition with Yellow, Blue and Cyan“
The artefact must be photographed before the work actually exists. The ‘work’ is the photograph, which thereafter may be considered an original edition of the work, by the artist. Digital copies are invalid, only analogue film is permitted.
Additional clause added for clarity: The artist may not have any direct editorial influence on the photograph. The artefact itself may not be sold.
The work may only be viewed by 10 people, not including the artist, or anyone officially employed by the gallery. After ten viewings, the work must be destroyed.
The work is only ‘art’ if there is a human being standing within 10 metres of it.
(a 10 yard version of this license for North America may be negotiated)
Every time the work is sold, 10% of the price is donated to the ministry of culture (in the land of sale).
The work must be sold at least every 28 days, at an increased price each time, or else it loses its status as an art object.
Call for EULA’s introduces the juridical framework for more or less public accessible media and electronic spaces, simulations and games as poetry and public art. To participate in the project simply register and post a suggestion for any kind of End User License Agreement, Terms of Service, or Terms of Use. There’s no rules for the call yet. Please respect other people and help play with rules. I hope you will accept the rules for participating when they’re created. There are no limits for what you want to set the terms for. You’re the boss.
To participate in any kind of action you want to be sure the framework is working. Bungiejump, chess, a MMORPG or work. But still you don’t want the rules to be too narrow. So here’s a suggestion to make them part of the creation process. CallforEULAs.org is a blog, where everyone can register and contribute with a suggestion for a set of rules or juridical regulations.
Everybody will be invited, economists, sailors, artists, gamedevelopers, information architects, architects, poets, gamers, children, grandparents, politicians, students.
Welcome to participate in Call for EULA’s.
