I went to a lecture tonight by Trace Reddell (Associate Professor, Director, Digital Media Studies, University of Denver). It was tremendously interesting and got me thinking about why textual collage doesn’t really work as text. Also, I hadn’t thought about quotation in writing (especially in essays) is a kind of sampling and mixing. Here are my notes (no organization or apologies):
cyberpunk vs. 19th C. drug lit.
deleuze & guattari as Sci-Fi
QWERTY
electronic book review
Litmixer: the literary remediator
*space rock?
• possible to remediate the remediation?
microsoundlist
game-oriented mentality (ok)
Palimsestry
SINE FICTION (sndtrcks 2 sci-fi novels)
non-narrative but rather . . . ?
the synthesis of collection
pHarmacological goofing around
narrative remix on the fly
premediate?
live cinema?
Guy DeBord (sp?)
a documentation of a process
cutnmix.com
distribute a process
distribute a knowledge outcome
Burroughs fold-in
Oh no! I completely forgot about this! Wednesdays are so long, but I would have stayed had I remembered. I’m glad it was good.
