Craig Saper

The article talks in depth about the consequences and meanings of the term sociopoetic. Now in modern days, the worth of an individual art piece has been minimalized due to industrialization and mass production. Everything transforms into the digital world and with it-loses all intrinsic value. One particular 'project' the article talks about is Bogg's work on counterfeiting and how several years ago copied a facsimile of the US dollar bill and later even began using it. This started a long debate on the worth of a dollar bill and where does that worth come from? Bogg mostly wanted people to reconsider the value of art and the value of money.
