🧠👾 What happens when fan culture meets generative AI? Inspired by #StrangerThings and @nicolleness prediction of AI’s role in participatory culture, @Kris_academic experimented with LLMs to bring characters from the show into interactive life More 👉 https://t.co/7fP6ofq5sF

In a new blog post, Elena Cooper (@drelena_cooper) explores ‘Scenes from a Repatriation’ – a new play by Joel Tan currently on at the @royalcourt – as a starting point for reflecting on the role of theatre and the arts in grappling with complex legal and ethical debates 👇
https://t.co/HALCP27skR

🎭 The play revives questions that CREATe explored last year at our international conference From Scotland to the World, held in partnership with the Institute of Art and Law and @hunterian on the repatriation of cultural artefacts from Western museums to communities of origin.

As Elena reflects, artistic spaces often open up room for nuance, storytelling, and public engagement in ways the legal world can’t always reach 💡

📣New Blog📣What do we really own when we buy a video game?🎮
Our latest blog by Dr Amy Thomas takes a deep dive into the strange legal afterlife of #TheCrew, tracing #Ubisoft’s shifting use of End User Licence Agreements (EULAs), and asking: when did we stop owning games, and why didn’t we notice?

From physical discs to digital downloads, from early releases like Iron Lord to modern blockbusters like Assassin’s Creed, this blog traces how game ownership has shifted quietly into fragile, revocable “permissions.”

🎨🧠 Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome Dr Marie Hadley (@DrMarie_IP) from the University of Newcastle, Australia, for an engaging session with our early career researchers across disciplines.
Marie generously shared her experiences navigating artistic–academic collaborations and offered valuable lessons from the field.
It was an inspiring, fourth-wall-breaking conversation and full of practical insights on how to build and manage creative research relationships. Thank you, Marie! 👏
