Annotation on "Languages of art" extract of the chapter "Art and Authenticity" by Nelson Goodman.
Goodman questions the authenticity of the work of art.
He introduces two terms for better understanding - autographic is consider to be the painting, characterized with one stage of production while the nonautographic or so called allographic is executed in at least two (for example compositing).
When the work is reproducible or there are multi copies/ instances of the work or it is performed in various ways it ultimately become an allographic.
"Every art is autographic by default."
Why is the use of notations appropriate in some arts than others?
Goodman argues that the notations are significant important for determining the origin of the work, done by establishing the history of production.
Then every digital art is by default allographic. Does it necessarily means that is less valuable or losses the uniqueness or the signature of its own - the expression of the author dissolve into the being reproduced, modified remixed?
