I was really proud to get the chance to show skrillex variations at the Sonar +D this year. The installation explores, on the example of Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites (2010) by skrillex, the various “forms of appropriation” which can demonstrate the web.video phenomenon, by organizing embedded videos, from the largest video sharing platform, into thematic grids for an interactive video-image-composition.
The song is emblematic for this new collaborative work on an esthetic expression of our times, because it is full of references/quotations to the stream of pop-culture-consciousness – like bowie, auto-tune cyberpunk and as youtube videos like the “cup-stacking girl” etc.
