One aspect of the creative industry that has remained the same across generations is the difficulty for artists to inject their work into popular culture. Utopian Plagiarism, Hypertextuality, and Electronic Cultural Production of the Critical Art Ensemble (CAE), writing in 1991, argues that "the video revolution failed for two reasons – a lack of access and an absence of desire" (99) while documentary press artists. Break. Play. highlight how easy access to creative technology is. PPP artists point out that it's much harder for good work to break through into popular culture because there are so many of them. Comparing the arguments of the ACE with the ideas of the PPP reveals that artists have always had difficulty breaking into popular culture, but this is so today for different reasons than before. For this reason, quality plagiarism is essential in the creative industry. First of all, it is important to understand the meaning of plagiarism. The ACE stated that "one of the main objectives of the plagiarist is to restore the dynamic and unstable drift of meaning, by appropriating and recombining fragments of culture." (86). CAE defines here what constitutes quality plagiarism. This definition fits well with their question “what is the point of saving the language when there is nothing more to say?” » When they say “there is nothing more to say”, they mean that there are no more “fragments of culture” which have not been experienced. What CAE means is that we can no longer do anything without plagiarizing. PPP artists recognize that plagiarism or “recombination” is necessary to create good art. The similarity between the two works lies in the fact that the comparison between the two exhibitions...... middle of paper ......fr in 1991. Lack of access was a barrier that made the success of the artists. Just as an excess of technology today makes it difficult for an artist to get noticed, lack of access to technology in the past made it difficult for artists to create work. In both cases, quality plagiarism was essential for the works of art to enter popular culture. One PPP artist said it best when he said, “I guess you just can't avoid limitations.” This statement encapsulates the constant limitations that artists have faced throughout history when attempting to get their work noticed in popular culture. An important way for artists to get their work noticed is to bring together different “fragments of culture” and recombine them to create quality art. In other words, plagiarism is the key to allowing artists to overcome the constant limitations of the creative industry..
