I can’t stand all the i-phone hype, the phone looks great seems great but is on the worst network in the country. When will we see i-Phones on real networks like Sprint?

Apple should be embarrassed.
This shows that Christian Marclay came into his work honestly. Apple came to their piece on his coattails.

“Recontextualizing” is no different than a collage. What Marclay did is a collage with film. The techniques and methods Marclay uses are just as important to his work as the final piece itself. Apple did not “recontextualize” Marclay’s work; it was not mixed in with techniques of other artist’s work to form a greater whole or send a different message.

Eventually, artistic technique will also be covered by copyright laws. I do commend Apple for paying usage fees, while I doubt that Marclay did.

Kathleen, BRILLIANT idea! I’d have that done today, but I’m not equipped at this moment.
