A Blogger and His Brand (via WSJ) →
WSJ: You are dressing the windows of Dolce & Gabbana’s Milan boutique with other bloggers.
Bryanboy: I see it as a collaboration, hopefully it’s not only a one-off. It should be every season, I think! Embracing technology, bloggers – at the end of the day it’s all about creating a discussion.
Watching creative destruction take place.

Dan Gillmor's Mediactive and the Changing Forms of...
Information overflow requires us to take an active approach to media, in part to manage the flow pouring over us each day, but also to make informed judgments about the significance of what we see. Being passive receivers of news and information, our custom through the late 20th Century era of mass media, isn’t adequate in the new century’s Digital Age mediasphere, where information...

What Can the Jeff Koons Lawsuit Teach Us About... →
What was Koons thinking? Maybe Koons was mischievously attempting to point out how absurd copyright law can be — after all, he’s been copyright’s victim on three occasions. But whatever his motivation in filing suit, it points out a larger problem with copyright law. Copyright grants limited property rights in original works of creative expression. It does so to induce creators to produce new...

A Review (Reframing) of Rogers vs. Koons
Art Rogers
Jeff Koons
As the Supreme Court put it in 1954, “encouragement of individual effort by personal gain is the best way to advance public welfare through the talents of authors and inventors in ‘Science and useful Arts.’ “Copyright could never be an absolute right, like freedom of speech or assembly, because it was a form of private property limited by...

Lego Jewelry Designs by Iridium
via Iridium blog and Dedicated Followers of Fashion

The Market Sprawls (via The Economist) →
…the art markets of 2007 and 2011 are very different.

At Christie’s, on February 16th, 11 telephone bidders...
