oh my goodness what a small world! (I think) joyce was one of my friends from international school in beijing, even though we have not talked at all in the past few years? and tianyu is one of my friends at stanford haha
Wonderfully written —I've had some curiosity on this since I naturally incline toward creating something new / innovating.
Still I wonder if we can categorize copying as art since every new copy of something is influenced in some way by its creator, whether that be the methods used / context it was conceived in or the slightest difference in strokes —in that way, it could be seen as a new interpretation instead of a copy.
You can make the claim that through these new interpretations is how art slowly evolves in long-form, with contrarian creations more effectively changing its course.
yes I like how you put it! contrarian thinkers 'more effectively changing its course'
it's like though everything is effectively a copy, everything new is still new because it is a unique combination of existing things, like how a recipe is a combination of ingredients that are not new but the result is something new
