What's happening with digital art these days? See Carly Berwick, Net Gains, ARTnews Online, December 2002. Excerpt: "Jon Ippolito, an associate curator at the Guggenheim, thinks all art should be free. To that end, he founded a program this September at the University of Maine in Orono called 'Still Water,' the first project of which is the Open Art Network. This would establish and promote standards for 'open architecture,' as he puts it, among media artists who want others to be able to access their art —or even copy it— at no cost. 'The fundamental premise of the Open Art Network is that it’s based in community,' he notes. 'It comes from artists, and it works with artists.'" (Thanks to Lawrence Lessig's blog.)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
