This is an important practice in a world where intellectual property is functionally and conceptually challenged, a world in which much interesting “new” art is a making of pathways through the accumulated culture of the past — “postproduction art,” as Nicolas Borriaud terms it.<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s difficult to preserve, in theory or practice, a clear distinction between appropriating pre-made material coming from inside and outside a project. And long standing questions about the granularity of ideas are everyday challenges. Can an intertext<\/a> of one note be a “theft”? One chord<\/a>? Which four notes are a lexia<\/a>?<\/p>\n
