HyperActiveStyle was born out of a series of discussions I had with a former Georgetown University classmate. It was then I saw the challenge art faces as a form of communication in the Internet age. Everywhere I looked I saw the reinterpretation of the Masters' works as computer icons, postcards, key chains, and even low-cost replicas. The question to me was obvious: Does the proliferation of these cheap copies devalue the originals? Why go to Paris to see the Mona Lisa if you can have an apparent exact copy hanging up in your living room? The question was simple enough. The answer wasn't. Thus I decided to focus on the irony of the commercialization of art in my own exhibits.
