> 
> An experimental exhibition of digital cultural heritage – Display At Your Own Risk – is launched online today (April 26) to mark World Intellectual Property Day 2016. The theme of the day, ‘Digital Creativity: Culture Reimagined’ (http://www.wipo.int/ip-outreach/en/ipday/ <http://www.wipo.int/ip-outreach/en/ipday/>), is reflected in the online  exhibition organized by researchers from  the University of Glasgow-based  CREATe - the RCUK Centre for Copyright and New Business Models in the Creative Economy.
> 
> Andrea Wallace (University of Glasgow) and Professor Ronan Deazley (Queen’s University Belfast) have created Display At Your Own Risk (http://www.displayatyourownrisk.org <http://www.displayatyourownrisk.org/>) as a celebration of the extraordinary efforts of museums, galleries, and archives of international repute in making their collections available online. This project also explores the legal risks and challenges involved in making this digital cultural heritage available to all.
> 
> The open source exhibition features 100 digital surrogates (a digital copy of an original cultural artefact created for preservation or archival purposes) selected from internationally-renowned institutions around the world, and invites and enables users to curate their own exhibitions as desired.
> 
> In Downloads (http://displayatyourownrisk.org/download/ <http://displayatyourownrisk.org/download/>) you can find the open source exhibition file (available now), as well as a Display At Your Own Risk poster (coming soon). The open source file is organized according to categories of risk informed by whether the relevant institution makes any copyright claim over the digital surrogate, the copyright law relevant to the institution’s jurisdiction, and the contractual terms and conditions set out on the institution’s website. When there is little to no risk in making use of the digital surrogate without the express permission of the institution, the print files are made available, resized to the public domain work’s original dimensions. When the possible risks are higher or uncertain, instructions for how to access, resize, and print the digital surrogate are included in place of the print file. Citation information is also included for each work, as are the terms of use specified by each institution.
> 
> Finally, the exhibition file contains the research data underpinning this project. You can read more about the research process and methodology informing Display At Your Own Risk in Publications (http://displayatyourownrisk.org/publications/ <http://displayatyourownrisk.org/publications/>).
> 
> By making the exhibition available online and open source, we hope to enable users to stage their own exhibitions all over the world – whether at home, in a place of work, a local park, by the ocean, or in a favourite bar or restaurant – all working towards a pop-up Gallery Exhibition in Glasgow on 8 June 2016. More importantly, perhaps, we hope to encourage users to enjoy, engage with, and create their own relationships with these wonderful works.
