Practical Study of Open Sharing at Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media [YCAM]

Abstract

Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media [YCAM] (herein after YCAM) is an art center focused on media technology. It produces artwork incorporating media technology, develops media technology, archives related information, and provides education. YCAM has open shared its works from some of its projects. To open share means to publish a work so that a third party can utilize it freely within certain conditions. In this paper, the introduction of open sharing at YCAM and the practice of implementing open sharing will be described and discussed.
