sisted of a porcelain urinal that was propped atop a pedestal and signed r mutt 1917 the work posed a direct challenge starkly juxtaposing to traditional perceptions of fine art ownership originality and plagiarism and was subsequently rejected by the exhibition committee 20 the new york dada magazine the blind man defended fountain claiming whether mr mutt with his own hands made the fountain or not has no importance he chose it 21 he took an ordinary article of life placed it so that its useful significance disappeared under the new title and point of view and created a new thought for that object 20 the dada movement continued to play with the appropriation of everyday objects and their combination in collage dada works featured deliberate irrationality and the rejection of the prevailing standards of art kurt schwitters shows a similar sensibility in his merz works he constructed parts of these from found objects 22 and they took the form of large gesamtkunstwerk constructions that are now called installations during his nice period 1908 1913 henri matisse painted several paintings of odalisques inspired by the women of algiers paintings by delacroix 23 24 25 the surrealists coming after the dada movement also incorporated the use of found objects such as méret oppenheim s object luncheon in fur 1936 or salvador dalí s lobster telephone 1936 these found objects took on new meaning when combined with other unlikely and unsettling objects 1950 1960 pop art and realism edit in the 1950s robert rauschenberg created what he called combine paintings combining ready made objects such as car tires or beds with painting silk screens collage and photography similarly jasper johns incorporated found object imagery into his work such as in his white flag in 1958 bruce conner produced the influential a movie in which he recombined existing film clips in the early 1960s the fluxus art movement also utilized appropriation 26 its members blended different artistic disciplines including visual art experimental music and literature throughout the 1960s and 1970s they staged happening events from found objects and produced sculptural works featuring unconventional found objects and materials also in the early 1960s artists such as claes oldenburg and andy warhol appropriated images from commercial art and popular culture as well as the techniques of these industries with for example warhol s green coca cola bottles painting of coca cola bottles 27 called pop artists they saw mass popular culture as the main vernacular in culture these artists fully engaged with the ephemera produced from this mass produced culture while distancing themselves from the evident work of an artist s hand roy lichtenstein became known for

archeolog es of the present time 68 some speak of postproduction which is based on pre existing works to re edit the screenplay of culture 69 the annexation of works made by others or of available cultural products mostly follows the concept of use so called prosumers 70 those consuming and producing at the same time browse through the ubiquitous archive of the digital world more seldom through
