- “Display At Your Own Risk (DAYOR) is a research-led exhibition experiment featuring digital surrogates of public domain works of art produced by cultural heritage institutions of international repute. The project includes a Gallery Exhibition as well as an open source version of that exhibition intended for public us. The following essays provide a range of perspectives on the various issues explored by the exhibition. These include, for example: the property status of digital surrogates; open access norms and digital collections; copyright exceptions across borders; and, the relevance of risk-based approaches to copyright compliance for both cultural institutions and the general public. [The research questions in the project are based around the following issues:] Cultural institutions are subject to the laws of their host nations, which are typically incorporated into (although sometimes disregarded by) the institution’s online terms of use. Where the policy is located, what it is titled, and how it is phrased varies from website to website. What impact do these variables have? Do these terms of use have any legal effect? Are online visitors from other nations bound by these terms and conditions? How might that online visitor know? In examining these issues, this research-led exhibition seeks to shed some light on an area where transparency is often elusive, whether intentionally or not. And what better way to explore them than becoming actively entrenched in them oneself? Consequently, this research project proceeds by taking on both the role of cultural institution and user, in full consideration of the role that law has to play in this domain. Display At Your Own Risk is the natural result of this experiment.”
