• Regine Debatty's priceless review of GAMERZ #7 @ WMMNA:

"I like GAMERZ because it's eclectic, because it makes me discover plenty of artists i had never heard about before but also because it reminds me that festivals should be left more often in the hands of artists. They take risk, follow their whim, trust other artists barely out of the academy, and care little about sticking to genres and formulas." (Regine Debatty)

• On the New York Times, Randy Kennedy talks about the relationship between art and copyright. A must read.

"In many ways the art world is a latecomer to the kinds of copyright tensions that have already played out in fields like music and movies, where extensive systems of policing, permission and licensing have evolved. But art lawyers say that legal challenges are now coming at a faster pace, perhaps in part because the art market has become a much bigger business and because of the extent of the borrowing ethos." (Randy Kennedy)

In the related illustration collage, several Cory Arcangel's artworks are mentioned as "borderline" cases, including “Japanese Driving Game,” 2004, “Nipod v.2,” 2004, and “Beat theChamp,” 2011.

• Sarah Brin posted this great video from Adam Henriksson, a sneak preview of a film  about social interaction in video games. The project was made at Umeå Institute of Design as a part of Adam's Bachelors degree.
