Homework_03: Read “Digital Foundations” Responce

What actually qualifies as appropriation? When I hear the word “appropriation” I usually think of the term “cultural appropriation”. Which basically refers to the unacknowledged or inappropriate adoption of other cultures customs, practices, ideas, etc. Which is essentially the same thing when you talk about appropriation in art. Appropriation is the use of someone else's ideas. Specifically in the article Fair Use, Appropriation & Advanced Image Searching appropriation is defined as taking over the meaning of something that is already known, by way of visual reference. But when is it okay to do that, or is it ever?

Sometimes the line between appropriation and plagiarism can seem pretty blurry. But it’s really not that difficult. It all kind of depends on if the subject is viewed as appropriate, or not. For example it’s not right to claim another artists work as your own or simply change a tiny detail. But you can reference it in your own design. In the article listed above, the artist mentioned, slightly alters a campbell's soup can in his artwork. Although he did not actually design the campbell's can, he can use it because the intent of his work is to reference the actual product, not replace it.
