The Pop and media role was summarized with Warhol's famous quotation:" In the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes".

There are some differences between the Pop Art in England and United States. The Bristist Pop art were particularly intrigued by American automobile design which has the emphasis on "planned obsolescence," the intentional production of goods that would soon require replacement. British Pop artists had optimistic point of view. They had worked with various forms of direct action - assemblages and happenings rather than comics or AD. In Britain popular culture and technology was just the subject of the popular art. The Amarican Pop art reproduced, duplicated, combined, overlaid and arranged the endless visual details that make up American society, introducing shifts and transformations and acting like commentaries
