The Pinocchio Theory on DJ Spooky:
Everything is a sample, everything is waiting to be sampled; and everything is renewed when it is sampled, broken down, reconstructed and recontextualized. If architecture is, as they say, frozen music, then -- Miller says -- music is liquid architecture. Music fills and reconfigures space, puts it into motion. All that is solid melts into software -- actually, into free software or shareware. I found Paul Miller's lecture exhilarating, as it envisioned -- but also pragmatically demonstrated, in brief -- the utopian potentialities of postmodern culture. Remix/Remodel. Deform in order to Transform.
This brief post (a reaction to 'an excellent lecture/demonstration tonight by Paul Miller, aka DJ Spooky') is highly interesting: thus, DJ Spooky 'so thoroughly registers and reflects upon what it means to live in our 21st century network culture. Miller speaks to and for a world in which everything is hybrid, everything is continually being transformed and "remediated" '.
