From Pixels to Pigment: How to Paint with a Projector in the Age of Fair Use

In this workshop, Nicolas Ceccaldi will guide participants through his own pastel technique using a projector. The tutorial will cover accurate alignment, effective lighting setups, and strategic color separation in Photoshop CS6. Alongside this technical training, the session will open into a broader discussion on the topic of appropriation in contemporary art: learning about copyright laws and how to engage with them, legal grey zones, staying up-to-date with the public domain, and landmark lawsuits that have shaped visual art throughout history.
