notes on viewing DJ Spooky talk on remix culture

media type="youtube" key="wMENA6XgGIo&hl=en" height="267" width="318"


 * mashup/remix culture as a direct result of "non-linear editing"
 * "my archive is part of my palette"
 * the event was a "social sculpture"
 * the unheimlich == DJ "Spooky"
 * jazz in relation to the grid (1st street, 5th ave) of the urban landscape
 * birth of a nation = "crisis of realism in American cinema"
 * "if you think of an artist as a person who is creating singularly, you are missing the point"
 * sampling in the 90's revealed a pan-humanism (globalization of sound, mixture of cultures) - not a bad or good thing but what is happening
 * North America as the obvious source of mashup culture b/c its the collision of European and African cutlures
