The quotations no longer refer to the correct authors. On the mock website, quotations are continually reordered randomly with different authors, spreading online misquotations as a form of liberation from the fixation on authorship. This explores plagiarism and issues of authorship in the era of the creative economy, with its attendant profusion of artistic creations and their remixes. The offline installation with head/menu.phpstones reflects the death of the author through an engraved slab of marble with memorable quotes about plagiarism.
