Not Quite Art series 2 is an insightful and humourous journey through an increasingly fragmented cultural landscape - where the internet and communications have given us a set of cultural choices and influences unimaginable even a decade ago.

The second episode in the series, Unpopular Culture, looks at why the culture that a whole generation of creators has grown up with is considered illegal. Digital remixing and sharing on the internet has turned our culture into a dirty, digital collaborative pool that exists at or outside the margins of copyright law. Marcus Westbury takes us from the high-tech, cutting-edge electronic art at the International Symposium of Electronic Art to a 'Creative Commons' salon in Brisbane in search of an unlikely collaboration between artists and…lawyers. 'Featuring' Elvis, Moses, Stanley Kubrick and Tom Hanks, Unpopular Culture, takes a serious look at how the day to day norms of digital culture have long moved on from the letter of Australian and international copyright law.

Artscape: Not Quite Art will be repeated on ABC2 - Sunday, October 26 at 7:00pm
