There is the right for artists to claim copyright but due to the nature of the digital environment, but inevitably works will be spread through digital platforms. I think in most cases the permission and authorization of the artist come first. Especially in public occasions (for example SNS posts), the copyright owner should be given the power to either remove or directly label the work.

Similarly, an artist who uses information such as photos, voice, and private information should gain the permission of the source of the data: in other words, artworks shouldn’t do any unauthorized exploitation.

Another issue with artworks that are based less on private subjects but on a public scale is biasness. Digital networks being the core of globalization, the audience and viewers of the digital work would be more diverse. There would be a huge variety of ways for different people from different backgrounds to understand the works. Artist should be aware of this and make the effort to research/pre-educate themselves with as much culture, history, and social differences; digital artworks have the benefit of exposure but there is the responsibility to take more care in problems such as biases.

Artist:Lia

The most attractive aspects of these works are the vivid variety of colors and how each tone compliments each other, forming patterns that make me think of decorative art. Once painters use to even stick gold to create the golden yellow they were it’s rather interesting how digitally colors are presented compared to hand-worked arts.

This specific work from her installation Summer is composed of colors from imagery of summer; as she describe as blue sea, sand dunes, striped parasols and beach chairs. Using patterns that utilizes stripes, shapes that are made of patches and blocks of colors. The image is a capture of a continuous video that does not repeat but continues to create new random images.

Lia also has 3d installations that bring out code and algorithms into physical products- it is a real ting in real life. I know that the works are rated to minimalist qualities and she codes for her installations or images. The way she cooperates the freeness and fluid characteristic of art works – for example paintings or sketches- along with the structured characteristic of coding seems to bridge between traditional mediums and Digital algorithms.

Additionally, adding sound elements is another dimension to add on art works. It brings in the sensory sound helping to create a mode, reenforcing the impact of an art piece. It isn’t necessarily music of her own creation but is a collaborative act; in this specific work, sound from Damian Stewart.
