“if I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses”
- Henry Ford.
Commercialisation of intellectual property by creative practitioners has gone mostly unnoticed by the mainstream economy. Artsactive have a small catalogue of patents that have been derived from creative practice, but as a standard revenue stream it is poorly explored. At the Australian Network for Art and Technology (ANAT) we work with artists who are at the very forefront of science and emerging technology. It was noticed that through the processes encouraged by ANAT, artists were creating intellectual property when they encountered a technical roadblock in their work. They created code, machinery or processes in their endeavours to over come problems in achieving their creative vision. These AncillaryIPs (Artz 2008) had been mostly overlooked More >
Creative Cultural Practice and the Commercial in Harmony

“No culture can live, if it attempts to be exclusive.”
- Mohandas Gandhi
As CEO of the Australian Network for Art and Technology (ANAT) I have experienced artists going through the patent process, rapid prototyping, engaging in scientific research and producing new applications in digital media. There is a myth about those involved in creative practice, that they are not interested in business. There is a difference though between not wanting to be a businessperson and not wanting to be involved in business. Many creative practitioners are interested in engaging with business, being commercial, but they want to pursue their creative vision and not spend a majority of there time focused on business outcomes. We have a creative core in our societies that are some of our lowest income earners (Throsby & Hollister 2003); that seems absurd when we are told the economy relies on people creatively resolving problems.

The arts, innovation and commercial opportunities
Aug 24th

The Australian Network for Art and Technology (ANAT) has been working with art, science and technology for 21 years. It has only been relatively recent that the innovation potential of the arts, particularly those working with technology, has been understood. Myths relating to artists not wishing to be commercial and the active marginalising of the arts in intellectual property (IP) development has meant that the arts are overlooked as a source for commercially viable IP. Through my work at ANAT I have experienced artists going through the patent process, rapid prototyping, engaging in scientific research and producing new applications in digital media. More >

Gavin Artz spoke to an audience of IP and commercialisation professionals at the 3rd Annual IP Management in Practice Conference 16th – 18th of March 2009. There was strong interest from university based commercilisation agencies that have a mandate to commercialise IP in the arts, but before Ancillary IPs had model to guide them.
