There are a lot of new forms of arts now, such as bootlegs, remix music, mashed up video…etc. As the public often talk about the value of copyright, most people have the tendency to equal the imprinted thing to the violent of original instead of new form of creation. Besides the art’s filed, lots of companies protect intellectual property by applying the patent immediately. Although technologies increase the pace of innovation, they also change the perspective of “idea”, which seems to hinder people’s creativity.

 

500 years ago it is the great Enlightenment period. We can easily learn how the new, interesting, unpredictable collisions of mindset started with by the painting st john's coffee house of Hogarth---crowed coffee shop that filled with people from different background. While having a cup of coffee, they exchanged their though and kept bouncing off each other just like The Three Greek Philosophies, and that’s the environment that leads to innovation. However, living in an information exploding era, people start to suspect the value of wiki culture, and I start to wonder that whether this will restrict people’s spaces of creativity and opportunities?

 

As Newton quote,” If I have seen further than certain other men it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.” From the history, we can found that there were a lot of great breakthroughs that were based on the works of the past, such as Galileo Galilei based on Nicolaus Copernicus studies, heliocentric theory, and did lots of breakthrough on universe; today, many medical advances are also from the past experiences by others.

 

Although the value of arts may aim at the importance of “unique” and “original”, when it comes to creation, they share the same conception. Once the art be created, it is something new, and it has the right to be a “good idea”, too.
