""I wanted to transform the figures and bodies into more dream-like shapes through collage and looping and repetition," said Seattle-based filmmaker Andrea Hale, who created the piece in collaboration with composer Greg Hardgrave. For video artists, Hale said discovering what's new in the public domain each January is a thrill. "We're always looking for things to draw from," Hale said. "Opening that up to a bigger spread of materials is amazing. That's the dream.""
"Lawsuits have become a growing concern for artists and copyright holders, especially with the rise of generative AI. Recent years have seen a surge in online video takedowns and copyright infringement disputes. Media companies are trying to address the problem through deals with tech firms, such as Disney and OpenAI's plan, announced late last year, to introduce a service allowing users to create short videos based on copyrighted characters, including Cinderella and Darth V"
"Kahle said the Internet Archive received nearly 280 entries this time around, the highest number since the competition launched six years ago. "Things are not just musty, old archival documentation of the past," Kahle said. "People are bringing them to life in new and different ways, without fear of being sued.""
Seattle-based filmmaker Andrea Hale transformed archival figures into dream-like shapes using collage, looping and repetition while collaborating with composer Greg Hardgrave. The Internet Archive digitizes and provides public access to a massive repository of previously shelved materials, enabling artists to draw from newly available sources. This year's submissions include reworkings of 1930s films and AI-generated takes on public-domain books, and the archive received nearly 280 entries, a record. Growing use of generative AI has increased online takedowns and copyright disputes. Media companies are pursuing deals with tech firms to manage copyrighted characters for new user-created content.
