“It is not simply the physical barrier of the skin since this would overlook both the psychological sphere that EXISTS beyond our basic corporeal boundaries and the reciprocal relationship between self and context.” — Sally O’Rielly
Notions of identity through technology and the COMMODIFICATION of knowledge (as seen by the emergence of the internet) channels a passage to a culture valuing the infinite uses of form and endless movement of signs based on a common ideal that is sharing. the twin figures: dJ and programmer, products of this cultural landscape, practice recycling, re-appropriating, remixing, RECONTEXTUALIZING and reprogramming. By operating with JUXTAPOSitions there is potential to redefine connection, cause growth, stimulate change and generate newness. This does not NECESSARILY mean to DISASSOCIATE from origin but can acknowledge and cultivate it. annexed forms, elements and technological tools situated within the work act as instrument and presence. the journey of a musical loop or sample is likened to as is subject to its conception as mark making and lines congregate in a collaboration defining becoming.
