hELXIG 43,085 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hello, my name is Orlan, and I am the first person to ever discuss body modification and plastic surgery in art and I have trademarked the idea so noone else can use it in their art because I am the owner of art and I am completely original and if you have anything protruding from your face I expect to sue you for millions because that is my art and I pioneered it. MINE. I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizophonic 7,015 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 i quote nme magazine april 2011: NME wonders - thinking of the other homages she says she signposts so clearly, like the Ziggy-esque flash across her face when she first appeared in 2008 - if Gaga has heard of Orlan, the French artist whose permanent, surgically implanted facial modifications are very similar to Gaga's 'Born This Way' look. "Who's Orlan?" Gaga asks, grabbing her MacBook. "Do people think that's where I got it from?" After the debacle earlier, NME decides to let Google do the talking. Gaga hits the search button. "Oh my gosh. (Gasps) What is that? It's quite beautiful. That's weird! (Thinks) It's very fabulous. Well, i'm going to be inspired by her now, thank you!" If Gaga had been influenced by Orlan, as some do claim, this is a very good performance but, as Gaga later says, her whole life's a performance. There are too many layers of bluff and double bluff to consider, but to NME's eyes she seems genuinely - and fascinated - by the existence of Orlan.

Kayla 7,595 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Wait, what? Prosthetic implants have been a thing in the body modification community for years. Obviously Gaga's weren't real implants, but what I mean is that imagery and style isn't unique to this one person who is suing her. of Montreal would have a case if they sued for Gaga's Swinefest performance's usage of their 2008 tour imagery I guess, but even that you could chalk up to pure inspiration as Gaga very much appreciated of Montreal's show. I don't think Gaga has ever truly plagiarized. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolodex of Hate 1,761 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Urgh, things like this really do get on my nerves!! I'm quite a creative person, and when I do something like make piano pieces, electronic music or some sort of photographical or design project, I ALWAYS find that something like it has been done by someone before - that's just the way it is. For music, there are only 12 different notes (which can be repeated in different octaves), OF COURSE there will be massive comparisons between songs. Same as art - Mrs Orlan wasn't the first woman to modify her face and won't be the last. There's barely anything Gaga's done that is completely original - most people haven't. That doesn't mean to say she's copied another artist or even that she was inspired by her - I just think that Orlan clearly noted some vague similarities a chunk of Gaga's wealth - $31.7 million of it in fact We have no legal choice but to stan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
