via everythingisaremix.info

I’ve often joked with friends that at the rate we are going with sampling, with less and less time between the creation of the original work and the use of it in a sample, that the creative process behind pop music (in particular) is very much a serpent about to eat its tail.

This is a must watch video, and I can not wait to see the next 3 parts.

Ben Cameron is a kindred spirit, a cultural omnivore consuming pop culture and art with equal passion. In this talk he eloquently conveys the truth about how important the arts are and what is really happening to arts organizations and artists. These 13 minutes are a must watch for anyone working in the arts. There are many truths he shares that established art makers are ignoring. This talk is the closest to having someone verbalize my philosophy of culture.
