In Slate today, a piece by me on "recreativity"
- a critique of the emerging orthodoxy of "everything is a remix" /
"originality is a myth" / "no such thing as genius", in terms of its
relationship to digital culture and to dance music ideas that are frankly a bit stale at this point.
(Reading some of the arguments being made
these past few years from critics, academics, artists, etc you can't
help wondering if these dudes heard a Girl Talk CD and had their minds blown.)
Or, old fashioned modernism versus what is now equally old fashioned postmodernism.
