  • Well I wouldn't say categorically, as otherwise there wouldn't still be discussions like this!

    Though I take your points and there is certainly something to be said about the actual production of such items. I was speaking mainly on Winerack as I know that was a "readymade" but didn't know much about Fountain before today and it certainly is interesting reading. I was under the impression that they were also simply porcelain urinals bought as is.

  • By AI plagarism I just mean that there is a similar level of effort and thought that goes into someone typing a prompt into an AI image generator and getting output that uses another artist's work. Maybe more even. Buying a mass produced item, signing it and saying you made art is very much the "you made this? I made this" meme.

  • When you say modified it, you mean he rotated it and signed it with a marker?

    I can understand that it is influential due to subverting the norm and because we are having this conversation about it. To me, it loses something when it can literally just be replaced by anything similar. Example, that banana on a wall that sold for millions. There are 8 copies of "Fountain" and all are considered original. People piss in it and also unironically call that art.

    I tend to agree with Greyson Perry on the matter - "I find it quite arrogant, that idea of just pointing at something and saying 'That's art.'"

  • I'm extremely interested about the nature of the potential international incident...

    And while Winerack is a great similarity to the typewritten letter, it feels not unlike modern day AI art plagiarism to me. He literally bought the thing in a shop and then displayed it with his name on it!
