Brcon2024: Meme Art Contest

"In 1936 Walker Evans photographed the Burroughs, a family of
sharecroppers in Depression era Alabama. In 1979 in Sherrie Levine
rephotographed Walker Evans' photographs from the exhibition catalog
"First and Last." In 2001 Michael Mandiberg scanned these same
photographs, and created AfterWalkerEvans.com and AfterSherrieLevine.com
to facilitate their dissemination as a comment on how we come to know
information in this burgeoning digital age."
