There is no excuse for a news blog not to give proper credit.I hope when they make the correction, that will bring more public awareness to this artist in addition to the strong points you make regarding the topic of not crediting, plus your compliment that clearly brings to the forefront that this has been a “rare art feature.” Keep them on their toes, Alyson! (Sprained my wrist and arm and not been able to comment in a while, but I have been enjoying reading here and your amazing newsletter.) Thank you again for the varied and informative art news you bring to my inbox!

To them it wasn’t important. I hope they make a correction and publicly give him the credit. I followed your link and his waterfalls are wonderful! I wish I could see them in person.

You would think that someone blogging for NBC would know that not crediting the artist is theft. Image grabbing and hot-linking has become so common place on the web and in the blogging world in general. Whenever I share or promote an artist’s work I not only credit with a web-link, I then try to follow up asap and let the artist know that the post is up and if they have a problem with the post we will take it down. I too have made ethical concessions by not e-mailing every single artist I blog on “prior” to posting for posting permission. I found sitting on my hands while awaiting an e-mail responses bogs down the blogging process, and is an organizational nightmare. For some artists however a web-link and credit may still not balance out the shock of seeing their artwork on another site without their permission. So by old school copyright standards I have made mistakes myself.

Well said! This is one of my all time pet peeves and I cringe when this happens. It happens more often than it should too. I remember a few years ago, I had a CAUSE. There was a poem by TAYLOR MALI called “What Teachers Make”. It became a cult phenomenon, traveled the internet like wildfire, and ultimately was used over and over again in speeches and on the news. Just like a game of “Telephone”, somehow, someway Taylor Mali’s name was tossed out and the poem became listed as “anonymous”. When I saw this happen, I became irritated and enraged. I started an email campaign to notify any presenter or website that this poem had an artist behind it and his name was TAYLOR MALI. I am glad you did the same in the case of Olafur Eliasson. We all must give credit where credit is due. Sheree Rensel http://www.wizzlewolf.com
