34. When you describe the emotional response associated with the images, you are talking about art

That's what art does. So the different emotional response you are referring to is a result of modifying an original piece of art into something else which mimics art and will be perceived by most as art, but really isn't art at all. In doing so you forever alter people's perception of the original work of art. I just think it's worth mentioning as food for thought. It's not something I'm going to lose sleep over.
