Anyone see that AT&T commercial that showed famous structures in the US being covered by huge orange cloth? So clearly inspired by those Christo and Jeanne Claude pieces that it even says in the fine print "The artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude have no direct or indirect affiliation or involvement with AT&T."
A few art people tripped on it, but it didn't reach the QBN because no one responded to the allegations like a dick.
I really think the reason that dudes occasionally get crazy about this sort of thing is because they are so worried that someone else might be making more money than they are off of the idea they felt they came up with. People should be stoked other people are "ripping off" their shit. The more something is "ripped off" the more obviously influential that thing is.
Anyways, In some ways, that is how a style is created. Some one sees something they like and copies it. Then someone else copies that and so on and so on. Eventually everyone is doing it and its no longer an original idea, its a universal idea. Sometimes its hard to see this on the small scale of one specific work of art being eerily similar to another, but its always true.
- Hmmm.. you can being influential put food on your table? I'd be annoyed if someone blatantly stole an idea and profited from it; it's rude and obnoxious behaviour.********

- If you think that Christo did not get paid for this in some way, you're nuts!********
