which is how i see my work. i often fail, but the basic goal is to take
some things (some media) i think are "bad", and "correct" them so they
"say" what they really were "saying" already, so people notice and
"think".

i was only speaking for myself. obviously everyone working with
appropriation has their own reasons for doing so. the above is just mine.
