Subterranean Homesick Alien

Dylan-Cylon

OK, this reveals what a ridiculous geek I am. There is a “viral” Bob Dylan marketing project that allows people to remix the infamous Subterranean Homesick Blues film made by D. A. Pennebaker. The campaign does not allow me to embed the video (I don’t know how to capture the streaming flash- I guess I’m not such a geek after all). Anyhow, this is a mash-up with my favorite series, Battlestar Galactica. Click here to see the video I created.

Will mashups become thought crime?

As mashups become the dominant aesthetics of our time (people act like this is such a new thing, but punks and hip hoppers, please pat yourselves on the back, were doing it long before YouTube, not to mention Dada), it is ironic that corporate “take-downs” are beginning to proliferate the Web. Ultimately this will bite them in the arse, just as the RIAA is doing so by suing music customers. The Center for Social Media is now launching a big research project on the subject. The video link above is a good overview of some the reasons why this is such an important topic for concern.

Remix Culture — Videos — Center for Social Media:

There is a ton of new creativity in the user generated space, and much of it builds on unauthorized uses of copyrighted material. In this new era of participatory media, where should we draw the line between infringement and fair use? Take a look at our new video, highlighting some of the ways that existing content is being repurposed. This video is designed to provoke discussion, so please share your thoughts with us on our blog.

DJ Spooky’s Ghost World Mix

Spooky

DJ Spooky’s got an interesting project and installation for the Venice Biennial 2007. To explain his approach, he states:

Brian Eno once famously remarked that the problem with computers is that there isn’t enough Africa in them. I kind of think its the opposite: they’re bringing the ideals of Africa. After all, computers are about connectivity, shareware, a sense of global discussion about topics and issues, the relentless density of info overload, and above all the willingness to engage and discuss it all – that’s something you could find on any street corner in Africa.

As for the material comprising the mix, he elucidates:

The “Ghost World” mix is all about the multiple rhythms and languages of Africa, but it makes no attempt to give you everything – it’s from my record collection. That’s why the “story” of the mix is about: polyrhythm, multiplex reality. There’s even more current material, like the Kuduru sounds of Luanda (who says Techno doesn’t exist in Africa!?) and old school hip hop, like Zimbabwe Legit from the early 90’s of classic “conscious” school hip hop. Yes there’s material from Akon, but he gets mixed with Nelson Mandela, or MC Solaar, but I looked for material of his that combined with jazz, so Ron Carter’s brilliant bass playing worked out with that. There’s even material from my favorite South African composer, Abdullah Ibrahim, and vocal outtakes from David Byrne and Brian Eno’s “My Life in The Bush of Ghosts.” Plus various guest appearances by African dictator Idi Amin or the former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo talking about democracy in Nigeria.

From Reality Sandwich | Ghost World Mix: A Story in Sound.
You can download the mix here.
