Reading #7: Jodi Bieber

This is a tough situation for me as an artist. I want to get paid for my work and I want others to see it, but at what cost? When Jodi Bieber handed her photo over to Time Magazine, it was contrasted with misleading text, changing implied meaning of the photograph. Perception is half of a work of art. What happens when text changes the perception of the piece? Is it worth the money? I suppose it depends. In Jodi's case, Time Magazine completely reversed the meaning she was trying to convey, that hurts.
