Everything is a mix or remix of other things. This idea is defended by artists such as Kirby Ferguson who affirms that a created work is the reinterpretation of other existing works, so everything we create is the product of a series of influences and in this way the concept of "new" as we understand it does not exist. In fact we don't have to look too far to figure this out. Movie posters are a good example because they are impregnated with all kinds of clichés and concepts that are repeated over and over again under different faces and some different nuances, although the main idea and concept are always repeated.
Ferguson says something very interesting: Ideas are seen as property, as unique and original lots or "packages" that have very clear boundaries. However for him ideas are not so neat and are actually layered, intertwined and they are linked and entangled with each other.
