Today’s lectorial was based around the art of remix.
Fun right? Dan gave an incredibly engaging speech explaining Eduardo Navas’ art, as well as an indepth analysis of Girl Talk’s music. I found it really interesting exploring the scope of Girl Talk’s prowess in the art of remix. The sheer thought that goes behind his mash-ups is truly incredible. I counted about 12 songs that I recognised in the example that we heard. So interesting when compared to a single mash-up of two individual songs. I also really found it interesting that the ‘common’ mash-up is created by juxtaposing two opposing genres (think Sex Pistols aligned as a mash-up with Christina Aguilera) to create something spectacular and quite mind-bending.
