A collage-based esthetics: an archival attitude where artists don't just make "new" material. The gift economy and the ideas of exchange and colective memories. DJing as a contemporary art form based on digital media: i like the idea of transients, of dematerialization, of sound as an invisible meshwork of interplay of memory and geography.
A live demonstration of concepts through sound.

Performance art and application of digital media to the idea of what is contemporary art as the performance of a social sculpture. I look at archives as something that can be used and not just put reverently in history and at the same time I look at software itself and its relationship at how we make and modify culture in an era of distributed culture. The Rhythm Science book and the emerging of a "post-production" esthetics. The In Fine Style project.

An example of sequencing loops from Lee "Scratch" Perry and Philip Glass and then adding Public Enemy's Chuck D voice. What you are seeing here as a collapse of spatial and temporal relationships is the way the collage functions, employing this collapse as a compositional tecnique: DJing is always about collisions and bizarre juxtapositions. Sampling and making copies of oneself: the One Man Orchestra by Méliès. Exploring the culture of the copy and especially the network of exchanges to give them meaning. The Rebirth of a Nation remix project.

More examples: applying DJ techniques to cinema scores and the legacy of futurists: music coming from noise, produced by machines, music as code. The music I am composing is investigating a new landscape and this art form is not just about archives, publication and reuse of them, but also to get information out in this information landscape: sampling has become an exchange of global memory.

Music coming from info landscape: a live demonstration.
Sampling has become a global vocabulary both in arts and in urban youth culture. The sound system culture rooted in Jamaican dub: music as theater aesthetics, music from discs, live music intervening the mass culture.
Questions and answers: fair use, exchange, responsibility and respect.
