Artworks That Demonstrate Authorship Issues

We'll be looking at some of the following, in class, tomorrow:

Michael Mandiberg's AfterSherryLevine.com
Alex Galloway's (Radical Software Group's) Prepared Playstation
Daniel Papasian's walmart-foundation.org
Cat Mazza's (MicroRevolt's) KnitPro Software

We'll also look back on previous examples (including Cory Arcangel & Vuk Cosic) to contextualize (or problematize) Barthes's points about the author.
