Dear Frameworkers,
Following the recent post by Chuck Kleinhans about the new Duke book on
copyright, I want to remind you about "Illegal Art: Freedom of Expression in
the Corporate Age" featuring an array of great works. --Caroline

The films and videos below appropriate intellectual property, whether

piece of intellectual property that happens to appear onscreen).
Brian Springer

Video, 1995, 60 min.
The behind-the-scenes maneuverings of politicians and newscasters in the
early 1990s are exposed in Brian Springer's documentary.
Todd Haynes
"Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story"

Naomi Uman
"Removed"
Film, 1999, 5 min.
Using a soft porn film from the 70s, nail polish, bleach and a magnifying
glass, Naomi Uman transforms a writhing, naked woman into a hole--an empty,
animated space.
Craig Baldwin
"Tribulation 99: Alien Anomalies Under America"
16mm, 1991, 49 min.
Tribulation 99 is both a skewed history of United States intervention in
Latin America and a satire on conspiracy thinking.
