The Art is Dead Manifesto Part: 1
As an artist who put down his brushes to work in digital collage back in '99 I feel it is is all a verification of the art is dead theory. Art has reached the end of history and now all there is to do is re-mix old ideas to re-invent new imagery. It happened across the arts best exemplified by sampling in rap music, due in part with the advent of digital media. Marcel Duchamp put the first nail in the coffin by claiming that anything could be art, and Andy Warhol the last nail by mechanically reproducing appropriated images.
