[Rumori] Negativland in Seattle this weekend

[Dan Bartell]

Just thought I'd let people know about this show at Consolidated Works in
Seattle Washington.  If you're around come down, tickets are moving fast.

 

"Culture jamming" pranksters NEGATIVLAND bring their radio theater It's All
in
Your Head FM to Seattle
 
It's All In Your Head FM is a two-hour-long stereophonic look at monotheism
in
all its fundamental forms worldwide and the all-important role played by the
human brain in believing them. Dr. Oslo Norway is the founder of an all-new
radio network, and his provocatively reasoned position of God-less
objectivity
can actually start arguments. Is monotheism now doing more harm than good?
Christianity and Islam are this year's featured religions as Negativland
asks
you to contemplate some rather complex ideas about our brains' beliefs in
"documentary collage" form.
 
Since 1980 Negativland has been creating records, fine art, film, video,
books,
radio and live performance using appropriated sound, image and text. Mixing
original materials and music with things taken from corporately owned mass
culture, Negativland re-arranges these bits and pieces to make them say and
suggest things that they never intended to. In doing this kind of cultural
opposition and "culture jamming" (a term coined by Negativland in 1984),
Negativland has been sued twice for copyright infringement. 2005 marked its
25th anniversary of being together as a group.
