About Artmob

Artmob is a multisectoral initiative designed to build large, accessible online archives of publically licensed Canadian art, and to foreground the issues that this process raises for Canadian copyright and intellectual property laws.

We are developing a multimedia digital archiving system for Canadian arts organizations.

Our research project is driven by the belief that:

• Canadians have a right to digitally access publicly funded cultural projects;
• Cultural institutions have a responsibility to make their materials available to scholars, researchers, and the general public;
• The successful creation of digital archives requires a foundation of trust between rights holders, the public, students, educators, funding agencies, cultural institutions and arts organizations.
