Remix Culture

We've been talking a lot about remix culture in class and I think Gaga's ARTPOP cover released today serves as a great example.

There are several inspirations present on the cover and more not yet discovered-

1) Jeff Koons' gazing ball... (Gaga on the cover is actually a Koons sculpture)

2) "The Birth of Venus" by Botticelli...

 3) "Apollo and Daphne" by Bernini...

And just for fun here are a couple recent performances inspired by imagery also present on the cover...

Hopefully this was pertinent to the class. Thanks for reading.
