This modus operandi definitely has its own esthetics and has known a surge in the last years. Everybody's doing it. But it has apparently just become auto-referential and is now to set go back in the shadows, never to die in the hart of hardcore aficionados. Its heydays are in its past but may one day come back. that said, if its art, don't sit on it, if you do, if becomes applied art, witch is also called design, unless you were supposed to sit on it in the first placed, then I can't help you.

Well done on drawing attention to the obvious, keep it up.

I would rather have seen the originals restored or updated. To me this just reeks of 'trying too hard to be different'. I went to art school- I get the whole idea of looking at something in a different way but to be honest im just bored of it now. Id rather look at a simple, well made honest product.
