Boing Boing has a post complaining about the Dia forbidding people to take photographs of The Lightning Field. I'm basically onside with letting people take pictures of art, but Cory Doctorow neglects to mention anything about the fact that The Lightning Field is not just a roadside attraction, but a bona fide work of art made in 1977 by Walter De Maria (who also made The Earth Room and the Broken Kilometer, also owned by Dia). In fact he neglects to mention Walter De Maria at all! If it was my art I'd say go ahead and take pictures, but please give a little credit where credit is due.
UPDATE: Greg made this point much better than I did.
