Recommendation

With a spoonful of self-deprecating humor and some colorful language, digital designer Wilson Miner recalls past experiences to explain that appropriation, though it gets a bum rap, isn’t all bad. Miner delivers an entertaining warts-and-all presentation to highlight the relationship between appropriation and collaboration – an exceptionally apt topic for the digital age. getAbstract recommends Miner’s talk to creatives and anyone whose work involves collaboration.

Take-Aways

  • Appropriation means taking something someone else created and making it your own either by trying to pass it off as your own composition or by modifying it, a practice musician Bob Dylan, for example, commonly undertook.
  • Appropriation’s sinister side is well documented, but it has an enormous role to play in collaboration and creativity.
  • For instance, Apple promulgates an open culture whereby its employees share their work and ideas. No one takes individual credit.
