Who: DJ Spooky
Site: http://djspooky.com
Date: Friday, February 8, 2008
Time: 3:00pm - 5:00pm
Location: Great Hall of the Carolina Union, UNC-Chapel Hill
Facebook event: http://unc.facebook.com/event.php?eid=7781492518

What: Turntables, technology and music theory will collide when Paul D. 
Miller, better known as DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid, presents a 
discussion/demonstration preceding his world premiere performance of 
"Video Soul: Wattstax to the Avant Garde."

The lecture/demo will take place on Friday February 8 at 3 pm in Great 
Hall of the Carolina Union. The World Premiere of "Video Soul: WattStax to 
the Avant Garde" will follow on Saturday evening February 9 at Duke 
University.

During his multimedia presentation, Miller will use historical texts and 
rare audio and film recordings to illustrate the history of digital art 
and media. Using the DJ's mix as a template, he will discuss how today's 
artists can rearrange the cultural ideas and objects that bombard us to 
produce something new and expressive. Miller will also discuss 
technology's impact on DJ culture and the issues that arise from it, such 
as intellectual property rights and ownership of ideas.

Sponsors: UNC Chapel Hill sponsoring organizations include: Department of 
Art, University Program in Cultural Studies, School of Information and 
Library Science's Open Video Project, Carolina Union Activities Board, 
Carolina Free Culture and ibiblio.org with additional support from
