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 Department of English and a grant from the Performing Arts and
Special Activities Fund.
