If you take the bunny wave as an example, ok, I could agree with you, but not in the case of the bunnies panoramic in NYC . Plus the fact that Passion have approached them earlier… plus the fact that the first Bravia ad was “inspired” by another piece of work… plus all that Simon Robson added about the industry.

Correction: You can call â€œartâ€? > You can NOT call â€œartâ€?

You can call “art” to a TV Advertising because is a thing of make money, in this case for Sony. Kozyndan make the art and the idea, then Sony make the mony with this idea. So this case is not a case of an artist making an interpretation of another artist work, is the case of a company (put in the bag Fallon and so on…) making money with the ideas of other creative people.

I think this is a good case to make a big shout, and stop this cases of rip-off.

“Iâ€™m not trying to say thereâ€™s no such thing as creativity. Iâ€™m not trying to reduce this down to simplistic terms at all. Quite the opposite. Iâ€™m arguing that the complexity of the creative process is so vast and vague that to point confidently at something and proclaim â€œRIP OFF!â€? is almost always an intensely naive act.”

I would have to agree with Justin. The definition of creativity and originality has now evolved to accommodate the current zeitgeist. To compete on who was first to conceive the idea is not the ultimate battle of creativity nor for originality in this case. Albeit that both wave is a bunny wave, the two is still completely different.

The creative process is indeed complex and its complex in the sense that it feigns according to the perception, culture and values of an individual. Before crying “rip-off” lets give room in understanding the art. Let’s just be more open minded and more mature in understanding this.
