Bootlegs, Counterfeits and Knock-Offs: From Medieval Artifacts to Digital Culture


This is the documentation of my Bachelor’s Thesis in Visual Communication at Hochschule der Künste Bern (HKB). 

Bootlegging and appropriation have been part of my design practice for some time now. However, I have often only dealt with the topic superficially. In my bachelor's thesis, I set myself the goal of investigating the practice of bootlegging and the various motives behind it.
