Copyright & License Terms for Artworks
1. Ownership vs. license — the core distinction
When you acquire a 1/1 work or a commissioned living system from PROJEKTA2 / Alexandre Iglesias, you own the specific certified instance — the unique session, export, or running system described in your Certificate of Authenticity. You do not acquire the copyright in the underlying source code, the reusable generative engine, or the artist’s other works, unless a separate written agreement explicitly transfers copyright (which is not the default and is priced and negotiated separately from a standard acquisition).
In practical terms: you own the object. The artist retains authorship and the copyright in the system that produced it.
2. Moral rights (always retained by the artist)
Under Spanish law (Real Decreto Legislativo 1/1996, Ley de Propiedad Intelectual, Art. 14), the artist’s moral rights — including the right of attribution and the right to object to distortion or modification that harms the work’s integrity — are inalienable and non-waivable. They remain with Alexandre Iglesias regardless of who owns the work, indefinitely. This is not a PROJEKTA2 policy choice; it is a feature of Spanish and most EU copyright law that no contract can remove.
3. What you can do with the work
| Use | Permitted? |
|---|---|
| Privately display, run, and enjoy the work | Yes |
| Photograph or screen-record it for personal, non-commercial use | Yes |
| Share images/clips on social media or press, with clear attribution to “Alexandre Iglesias / PROJEKTA2” | Yes |
| Loan the work to a museum, gallery, or exhibition, with attribution intact | Yes |
| Resell or gift the work to another collector, transferring the certificate | Yes — see Section 6 |
| Reproduce the work commercially (merchandise, NFTs of documentation, stock imagery, etc.) | No, without separate written license |
| Modify, decompile, or extract the underlying source code / generative system | No |
| Present the work, or a modification of it, as your own creation | No — moral rights, see Section 2 |
| Use the work to train, fine-tune, or benchmark AI/ML models | No, without separate written license |
4. Commissioned living systems — additional terms
For Projekta2 Studio commissions (custom living systems), the scope of exclusivity is stated explicitly in the commission agreement: whether the system is built exclusively for you (the artist will not deploy the same system for another party) or as a licensed/shared system (as defined in the Certificate of Authenticity, consistent with Clause 4 of the Collector’s Kit contractual clauses). If this is not stated in writing for your specific commission, ask before paying — do not assume exclusivity.
5. Technical dependency and preservation
Living and generative works depend on a runtime environment (browser engine, WebGL/Web Audio support). PROJEKTA2’s commitment to migration and long-term preservation in the event that infrastructure becomes unavailable is set out in the Collector’s Kit’s model contractual clauses, and — for an actual purchase — should be incorporated by reference into your specific acquisition agreement, not left as a general policy statement.
6. Resale
You are free to resell or gift the work you own, provided the certificate and its documented chain of custody accompany the transfer, and the new owner is informed of these same terms.
A note on the Spanish/EU artist’s resale right (“derecho de participación,” Ley 3/2008, implementing Directive 2001/84/EC): this statutory right entitles a visual artist to a percentage of the resale price when an original work of graphic or plastic art is resold through an art-market professional (gallery, auction house, dealer) above a €1,200 threshold, and it is inalienable — it cannot be waived by contract. Whether a certified digital/generative instance qualifies as an “obra de arte gráfica o plástica” for the purposes of this law is not settled and has not, to public knowledge, been tested in this exact context. This is flagged here as an open question for a lawyer to advise on directly, not as an established fact in either direction — do not assume it does or does not apply without specific advice.
7. Course & Kit templates — separate terms
The Collector’s Kit (contractual clauses, due diligence checklist, certificate template) included with the Structural Intelligence course is licensed for the buyer’s own use with any artist or platform, under the terms described in the Terms & Conditions, Section 5 — those terms, not this page, govern the Kit and course.
