Featuring a screening of the award-winning and groundbreaking film
with pre-screening media mash-up performance
and post-screening discussion.
Wednesday October 21st 2009
5.30 Doors open
6.00pm Media mash-up PERFORMANCE
with Justin Love & DJ Murge
A true movie for the digital age with adrenaline-fueled performances by mash-up phenomenon Girl Talk
Immerse yourself in the energetic, innovative and potentially illegal world of mash-up media with RiP: A remix manifesto. Let web activist Brett Gaylor and musician Greg Gillis, better known as Girl Talk, serve as your digital tour guides on a probing investigation into how culture builds upon culture in the information age.
Biomedical engineer turned live-performance sensation Girl Talk, has received immense commercial and critical success for his mind-blowing sample-based music. Utilizing technical expertise and a ferocious creative streak, Girl Talk repositions popular music to create a wild and edgy dialogue between artists from all genres and eras. But are his practices legal? Do his methods of frenetic appropriation embrace collaboration in its purest sense? Or are they infractions of creative integrity and violations of copyright?
You be the judge by watching RiP: A remix manifesto.
8.30pm OPEN FORUM DISCUSSION
with filmmaker Brett Gaylor (via skype), Justin Love (media artist), DJ Murge (remix artist), Peter Sandmark (MediaNet) and moderated by Mike Sheehan (Beatboard).
