Issues In Science And Technology, Spring 2012. Hillary Rodman Clinton
For those of you who know me well, you might find this quite funny.
I was recently asked to for twelve images for a US based magazine who said they wanted to do a feature on Stanza.
I thought why not, so I prepared the images 300 dpi for the editor as requested and sent them off. A couple of weeks later with a 44 dollar stamp they sent me four copies, very kind. (Most journalists don’t event bother)
Anyway its always nice to see your artworks in print over breakfast and they did look nice. Twelve images of “Sensity”, the live city data art project in the magazine Issues In Science And Technology, Spring 2012. However on first glance I couldn’t believe it they had used my images it seemingly to illustrate a text that wasn’t about me or by me. Off I steamed…. this editor needs an email.
Anyway before I shot myself in the foot, I thought I better give it a read. The article is on “Internet Freedom and Human Rights”, just my thing, I wonder who wrote it……err
Stanza Sensity
Dear Hillary Rodman Clinton thanks for using my artworks in your essay….…
I got another coffee together and gave it a proper read, it’s not bad actually. “the more people online contributing ideas, the more valuable the network becomes to all the other users”………
“If we are not careful, governments could upend the current Internet governance in a quest to increase their own control….”…The last point rather timely since the UK are about do just that.
