  • From Art to Ad | 6:30PM - 9:00PM // FREE

    Venue  -  Street Lecture Theatre

    Description: There is a current trend emerging for existing artwork to be re-used or used as inspiration to communicate ideas commercially. This has perhaps been encouraged by social networking and file sharing sites such as YouTube. Whilst some artists find these tools can be used effectively to raise their profile, they may also leave themselves vulnerable to having their creative work copied. For example, independent film makers use such sites to access new audiences and promote their ideas and films. However, by doing so they also leave their work open to those in advertising who sometimes use sources such as YouTube for inspiration or to find existing artistic ideas which they can utilise to communicate a commercial message.
