Reading Assignment #3

Having the digital coming into the physical world is a very exciting and interesting that makes us view art in a new perspective. I like the idea of sculptures turning into pixels. It kinda makes me want to do something similar to some of these projects

Pixel piece:

"Cardinal Sin"- Banksy

"The sculpture, a bust of a priest with its face removed and replaced by bathroom tiles to create a pixelated effect, is believed to be a comment on the sex abuse scandal that has overtaken the Catholic Church and its subsequent cover-up. The obscuring of the face through the bathroom tiles mimics the pixellation technique used to mask the identity of victims, an image frequently associated with the stories of sex abuse occurring in the Church." -HuffingtonPost

Question: Does anyone agree with James Bridle idea of New Aesthetic's biggest problem being a rip off from modern Aesthetic.
