Must-Read Article: The Ecstasy of Influence

This is in Harpers, “The Ecstasy of Influence.” It is an interesting meditation on the nature of art itself and how art is composed of other art. However, not only must you read this, you must read it all the way through to understand it and why it is important.

    There was a radio show last night http://www.radioopensource.org/the-ecstasy-of-influence/ that was really good as well.

    Thanks for the pointer. Articles like this are what keep me buying Harper’s. Even if, or especially if, I find myself disagreeing with most of the articles involved.
