spinster . writingThis is a selection of some of the most interesting texts I wrote since I was an art history student at the University of Gent. Earlier essays deal with internet-based art (net.art); at this moment my interests have shifted to themes related to my current employment -- archiving, media art, open source and copyright alternatives.

Copyright
and alternatives: an overview (en)
Sandra Fauconnier
Written at/for my employer (V2_Organisation). In the
context of a new research
project about copyright and online archives in 2002, I tried to get
a grip on the general problems surrounding copyright and possible alternatives.
This essay is the result of my research. The English translation (April
2003) is a nonliteral adaptation to the Dutch version which was written
in early 2002. The English version focuses on newer initiatives like Creative
Commons.

Since mid-2003, I have become a regular Wikipedia contributor,
out of sympathy for this quite interesting and highly useful initiative.
Wikipedia is an open, collaborative encyclopedia. My contributions focus
on contemporary and media art, photography and architecture, emphasizing
a non-US perspective.
