Fair Use Reading View points.

1.Appropriating artwork that gives the original work a disrespectful or bad meaning (not in a satirical way) can result in negative consequences as well as merely taking artwork and acknowledging the source.
2. Also, disclaimers do not count as fair use either, this is known as infringement and in some cases can be taken to a legal punishments.
3.Appropriation of art is a great way to learn on an educational level and have an open mind to ideas given by other people’s work, but one should always think about what they are doing before appropriating anything.

TED video reaction

I viewed a dance preformance called "Symbiosis," by the dance company Pilobolus. The performance was an interesting mix of art, athletics, and extreme emotion. The two dancers come together and become a beutiful moving unit. All of their movements are done in a way that empowers or constrains one another. It seems that one dancer could not exist without the other. I sensed a strong relationship throughout the piece as if the dancers were in love or had a serious emotional connection. Overall I thought this performance was interesting and very different, it gave me a curious and disturbed feeling. Was not expecting such movements.
