In todays Lectorial a portion was devoted to the concept of copyright and appropriation. My view on Copyright is a lot different now that im an ‘Adult’ because it means im more accountable for using other peoples material. Music is a big thing I use in my videos without asking for permission. Its kind of scary because someones more likely to sue. Ive been working on Abelton Live so that i can produce my own music instead on relying on getting permission.

Over the next week i’m going to research and then build an essay that explores the idea of originality by looking at the past, present and future of the art world.

I’ll split the essay into two sections which are linked bellow.

Part 1: Jeff Koons, Warhol and Duchamp – Challenges for the art world

Part 2: Michael Mandiberg – New age appropriation and ‘the remix’
