I see pieces like this to be similar to a collage in a modern art display. It's as if a person were to cut out parts of a newspaper and paste them together to make a new story.
In the end the artist has made a new creation that is very different from the first.
But still it would be a good courtesy to source the original newspaper used in the collage in the description of the piece.
The problem is not many can go through the trouble of tracing a MEME or gif to its origins. They are evolving from hand to hand until the original source is difficult to determine. I think @holovision would know better than I about when a meme is original content and when it is considered plagiarized material.
In this type of announcement, it's always open for discussion. It's solved for the author. It's not solved for the community yet.
I'm not decided on the memes.
