MMEDIA 1A03 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Remix Culture, Michelle Obama, Urban Planner
Document Summary
Lafrance - when a remix" is plain ole plagiarism. Urban planner devins used artist mesfin drawing of michelle obama and put it on a mural but disregards mesfin complaint of him completely copying her. He states that he is using the art in the sense of urban planning instead of an artist therefore it is not copying. There"s blurry line between plagiarism and paying homage. Internet makes it easier for artists to share their art on a widely used platform but then it is also easier to get copied off of. Meme culture has become increasingly popular yet memes often exploit artists in one way or another. Pepe was supposed to be a chill good natured frog yet it became a symbol of white supremacy. Artist oldham stole robinsons mini pop designs yet she states that art cannot be created or destroyed but rather only remixed.
