ARTH 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Walter Benjamin, Jeff Koons, Burberry
Document Summary
We as viewing subjects, are constantly in the process of reading, interpreting and encoding images. Images are appropriated by various sub cultures (e. g. my little pony was appropriated by the bronies , courtney love in which she presented her album cover and her dress like marilyn monroe subverting it as she appropriates it to make it more relatable to her own objective) Appropriation is constantly occurring; it is used to describe how we identify ourselves. Intellectual property: an area that controls the ownership and distribution of an item (e. g. by using a trademark a recognizable sign/design/expression which identifies products or services of a particular source) Legal images function as indicting images (the trademark could be considered the fingerprint of the product) Copyright law: statute of anne (1709) o o o. Came from the statute of anne (from queen anne of england) If the book needs to be copied depends on the decision of the monarchy.
