Red Hot Chili Peppers, Readymade

"Like the notion of 'conceptual art', readymade has ceased to be the significant of a precise moment of subversion of art practice, and rather has become emblem of a generalized statute of contemporary art: the interminable and interchangeable use of prefabricated/found/simulated object as part of a semantic ensemble, appropriation or intervention, and the parallel process of debate on the ontological, technical and political nature of the artistic system. [...] 

Consequently, it would be entirely legitimate to make it the victim of a new denomination. We are no longer under the influence of Duchamp's readymades. Let us assume we inhabit the era of the standardized alreadymade. 

[...] even in the banality of its indiscriminate reproduction, the alreadymade has been an excellent teacher. It postulates a universe which as Jorge Luis Borges envisioned, duplicates reality like its own map."
