The idea of collaborating in creative industries is important, as it allows artists, designers and thinkers to work together, learning from experience and different perspectives. The idea of reappropriating this knowledge can often be seen in the form of inspired application, re-mix and in some cases by reworking an existing piece of art or design completely. Simply copying an artwork or idea can often be seen as plagiarism and in a commercial context this is sometimes questionable. However, in the world of art, music and conceptual thinking, often existing work is included, revisited or addressed within a new piece of work with the aim of creating a new narrative.
Sun’s from Sunsets from Flickr by Penelope Umbrico, literally uses found imagery from the social platform to create a collection of imagery that conveys the theme of sunsets to create a mega montage that allows the viewer to compare, contrast and ultimately relate to what they are seeing. It expresses the idea of shared experience, despite the fact that we often feel like our personal moments are unique to us alone.
