This talk will present conflicts of copyright and intellectual property in architecture addressed through design, film, writing and exhibiting. It will look at the legal afterlife of creative work and their authors, proposing to challenge the right of humans over objects.

What is the role of architecture now and in the future of a globally networked world? What is its public, political, and aesthetic potentialities? Its conceptual methods and critical media? To focus these questions, we look at current curatorial practices, their processes, and strategies. The objective is not only to discuss architecture as an (critical) exhibition object or relational space. We also want to address architecture’s ability to project other selves without cancelling former ones.
