What I got from this article is that detournement is basically a form of appropriation that reuses works that have already been done, but these works are changed ever so slightly so that the artist can claim it as their own work. Meaning can also be changed by detourning a work. I found this interesting because it's hard to create something totally original and the fact that artists like Duchamp used detournement to mock old traditions. I actually went and found a comic strip that sums the whole idea up. Enjoy!
