Abstract

Traditional wisdom holds that moral rights are personal rights and therefore cannot be held by a corporation. This submission challenges both views. It aims to show that in Canada, moral rights are not entirely personal in nature, and that corporations can indeed hold moral rights.
'Word Protein', by Eveline Kolijn, Most contemporary art on (human body) bio-engineering is a critical comment on modern research involving genetic manipulation. Word Protein is an example of such comment; it is an artistic investigation of form and pattern in nature, and the dialectic between man and machine. This particular piece is a photograph of a protein that is part of a bacterium chosen by poet Christian Bök to realise the Xenotext Experiment project (see the Editorial).
