examples of artists and art in the digital age...

Alright so this blog is going to be a smidge shorter than my last couple of blogs merely because I have very little to say about what I think constitutes an artist and the concept of remixes and the "recycling" of art, if you will.

In the world of today (that being the digital era), anyone who creates a work that is inspiring to someone, anyone, can be considered an artist. Remixes, edits, and altered versions of songs, videos and other works are merely art that's been "tweaked" a little bit. Like I said in my previous post, the concept of originality is but an illusion since most anytyhing that could be considered "art" has already been done. Now all that's left is to make variations on it. Artists these days are musicians, moviemakers, actors and dancers and then the people that use digital media to make their own art are in their own category as "digital artists".

From youtube celebrities to professional dancers to a housewife, anyone can be an artist nowadays because we all have the capacity to inspire.
