ACTRESS: It’s art, ultimately, and commerciality still transcends everything. I saw this really famous writer really take it down, “What is this trash? What is this rubbish? I can’t believe people are passing this off as art!” One of her followers responded and said, “Yeah, that’s exactly the same thing they said when photography became big.” Then, you have people inverting this, like Banksy, who took one of his pictures used a computer, essentially, to destroy it. There all of these rotating conversations surrounding computers and art — computers creating art, computers destroying art, computers playing an integral hand in creating art. Young Paint touches all these conversations. I’m also interested in art forensics, as well — working out if something’s fake or not, copyright law in a way. I’ve caught myself in a situation where a big artist has sampled some of my work, but because of how they sampled it, there was no way that I could get them for it.
