This image is a remix of a classic work of art and a wooden doll. The creative commons creates an creative tool for artist to get feed back on there work. The artist arn't restricted to feedback but many end up working together to create new original works of art.
Back to the work of art. The question is: "How would Edvard Munch feel about his work portrayed?" The natural reaction would probably be humor that would transition in to a certain kind of wonder. Personally i would think he would be amazed with the progress that other artist have made due to the impact of his art. To some extent it is the recognition of the artistic process and with this the artist is bolster to an even higher status. As they say "Copying is the highest form of flattery."

Some nice ideas -- I encourage you to use more links...connecting back to a picture of the original artwork would have been nice.
ReplyDeleteI like that you thought about what Munch might think of this remix. But what if Munch isn't the license holder? I think that is often where the trouble arises. What should be done about differing attitudes toward copyright between artists and the corporations that often control licensing? Should it be up to the artist to decide?
