If you're a fan of culture-jamming and cut-up art, and this DVD is right up your alley. For 27+ years, Negativland has been commenting on the media, consumerism, and other points with twisted audio-collage pieces, and more full-on songs. I just got sent their Our Favorite Things DVD, which is a collection of 18 collaborations made to Negativland creations from 18 different video artists. You are getting Ariel talking about suing you for jacking audio to an extended commentary on the lengths Pepsi and Coke go to advertise their cola to the masses. The pieces range from full on CGI epics to more crude video trickery, with loads of mashing from old black & white movies, TV broadcasts and more original ish. Highly recommended for fans of crews like Coldcut.
A full review will be coming when I get more time to dissect this epic.
