amazing new images by lynn crounse



lynn came over monday morning and took better pictures than i could have imagined. my kitchen never looked so good. these are straight out of her brain [i mean camera] no cropping, light, contrast, tonal corrections- this is how she rolls..

interesting documentary on copyright

rip: a remix manifesto starts off talking about how girl talk [a fave 'music collage artist' of mine from cleveland] uses published copyrited popular music as raw material for his dope jams. it illustrates how this 23 yr. old needs to pay $4.5mil in royalities to make a typical album of his legally, and then points out how engaging new technology has made each of us the same kind of criminal, and some on a bigger scale:


there was also reference to lawrence lessig's


as well as another old fave band negativeland- who used the term culture jamming to describe how they used commercially familiar audio out of context to sever 'normal' programmed associations as social/political commentary.

which is a great segway to adbusters magazine, though unrelated to the film.


they've been a longtime fave.
