Good artists copy, great artists steal.

Dear Blank, At least we can agree that when the project is done it will be something. I get the feeling you might even like it, especially as a fan of Christo’s work. Good, now on to where we differ.

I disagree with you that the importance of art lies in its innovation or in its additional features. I do not believe an artwork to be functional nor do I believe it to be wholly original. A particular artist’s ideas lead to another’s and so on. It has always been so. Approaching art with these requirement-blinders will never give you true access to an art experience.

Art need only be honest and communicative. When these elements are there then the work will naturally innovate. If this work is not innovative to you, and that makes it “bad�?, that’s fine, your opinion, others will think differently. When you see it though, I know you will change your mind.

As to the Christo comment, good detective work Blank! He is one of my favorite artists and a huge inspiration for this work. I love his use of color, material and belief in art’s ephemeral nature.

Art is a societal product that is realized by groups of people and attributed to individuals. As such, I build upon services like Google because of their increasing roles in tech-filled lives. The materials that interest me are always the publically available ones.

I have seen that this opens me up for criticism regarding the “originality�? of my works. When the material itself is not made by my hand, then it is only the idea that I can focus on. I can live with that because using these materials is more important to me than being considered innovative. You should read some books on open source like The Cathedral and the Bazaar to get a sense for where I’m coming from.

Blank-
Did you miss that this was simply a Proposal? From what I gather, there will be tarps when all the buildings approve the project. You Clearly ignored half of the post, or you would have understood the entire concept of Hunter’s idea. But I guess you missed that when you were leaving an anonymous comment. I don’t think Hunter would have been chosen to be in the show if Art House thought this was a “rip off” and “extremely lacking”. Where’s your piece Blank? I must have missed it at the opening…

This is so unoriginal its not even funny. There’s currently a lot of uses for Google maps, but ripping them off and simply photo-shopping 5 buildings is not at all inventive. There are websites that allow you to add unique photos and locations to google maps, this project seems like a big rip off of Googles functionality and adds nothing to it. Had the tarps been up there for Google’s satellite imagery, yes would’ve been something. But the concept is extremely lacking, in particular on the innovation side. Lets rip off Christo and use google maps!
