The Finished Work of Art is a thing of the Past

This article got me thinking about performance art and the finished piece. The finished piece is nothing that can be bought sold or obtained by anyone person. But I do not think that it makes the art any less valuable. I realize that this article wasn't necessary about value of work but it is something that i considered. In New Directions of Digital Art, we just talked about the Aura of a piece and discussed whether or not we thought that reproduceable media had the same aura as old original pieces. I think that we came to a conclusion that art has changed and so the aura has shifted with this new wave of new media.
