Twenty years ago it took a ton of expensive equipment to make a video or record a song. Today it can be done without investing much money at all. Art collection is similar. With such an influx of art, art dealers and collectors are left trying to sort out which pieces are worth shelling out the big bucks for. It's true uniqueness = value. And for many collectors I'm sure this is a concern. But for the artists, how can this be anything but good? We have new resources and mediums with which to work, which will lead to many exciting innovations we can be sure. The internet and technology in general has really been an equalizer.
