“Taco Hidde Bakker: Originality is an overrated concept. Nothing that we have can ever be properly ours. It is a good thing to acknowledge influence, and he who is open to many influences can in the end participate in a main stream (without becoming mainstream per se).
Ken Schles: Linking into that stream is empowering. So much more unites us than we let ourselves believe. So much that we think original is nothing of the sort. Culture builds on itself and replicates itself. Tribal culture, capitalist culture thrives on highlighting dissimilarities, but shared aspects of culture unite us (and interest me). Our cultural regurgitations not only bind us together along points of unity, they replicate and radiate through us in thought and action. We mimic culture outright or mark it with unique signatures specific to our time in space.”
