Questions from Reading #5

1. Because of the infinite resources the Internet has, art is creating from existing things instead of from nothing.In Digital Divide, Bishop considered originality is not longer the focus, now it is more important how a existing work can be reconstructed nicely. How do you think about this changing? Is there any benefit or harm that it may cause?

2. Based on the example of postcards, when large of amount of collections are present in front of our eyes, we are not longer able to look all the details but only select and skim. Can it indicate that art needs to be limited in some level of simplicity? If the complicity can not pass its message to audience very efficiently, why there are still many artists try to make their works be more complex?
