“Today, when we can eat Tex-Mex with chopsticks while listening to reggae and watching a YouTube rebroadcast of the Berlin Wall’s fall - i.e., when
damn near everything presents itself as familiar — it’s not a surprise that some of today’s most ambitious art is going about trying to make the
familiar strange. [...] Whatever charge of tastelessness or trademark violation may be attached to the artistic appropriation of the media environment
in which we swim, the alternative — to flinch, or tiptoe away into some ivory tower of irrelevance — is far worse.” (Foster Wallace, as “plagiarized”
by Jonathan Lethem in The Ecstasy of Influence, Harper’s Magazine, February 2007)
