Free For A Pound
Artist buys manga character, remakes her, gives her to other artists to remix as "open source" gesture, symbolically "gives her copyright back to her," thus "freeing" her, until wealthy private collectors buy her, buy up all the "open source" versions, lend to museum to celebrate the wonderful "open sourceness" of the artist and the concept, whereupon museum guards yell at visitors "No photography! No photography!"
This tribute to the marvelous freedom of creativity is currently on view at the Tate in London, as described on AFC. And by the way, stop walking on that Carl Andre, you peasant!
