art is the opposite of death

For the generation that I spend my days with, there’s not even any ideological baggage that comes along with appropriation anymore… They feel that once an image goes into a shared digital space, it’s just there for them to change, to elaborate on, to add to, to improve, to do whatever they want with it. They don’t see this as a subversive act. They see the Internet as a collaborative community and everything on it as raw material.

— Stephen Frailey, faculty at SVA, quoted in the NYTimes article, “Apropos Appropriation,” on the Richard Prince lawsuit and the limits of fair use (via austinkleon)
