New Media in Art, 180-190

This section talked about scanning famous artwork and digitally recreating parts or bringing attention to certain aspects of these pre-existing works. I thought that Mona/Leo was interesting, simply because of the incorporation of some of the most famous artwork of all time. As recognizable and iconic as the Mona Lisa is, Lillian Schwartz made the final piece her own while incorporating these famous works. In a way, digital art can be a form of found art. Appropriation is really easy using digital mediums, and if done well, you can still claim the work as yours provided that you made significant changes. It's interesting. Digital art sort of walks that fine line.
