Sonic
Outlaws
by Craig Baldwin
1:27:00
Within days after the release of Negativland's clever parody of
U2 and Casey Kasem, recording industry giant Island Records descended
upon the band with a battery of lawyers intent on erasing the
piece from the history of rock music.
Craig "Tribulation 99" Baldwin follows this and
other intellectual property controversies across the contemporary
arts scene. Playful and ironic, his cut-and-paste collage-essay
surveys the prospects for an "electronic folk culture" in the
midst of an increasingly commodified corporate media landscape.
"Gleefully Anarchic!" - Janet Maslin,
New York Times
"Baldwin conceptualizes history as a lurid
exploitation flick" - J. Hoberman, Village Voice
"Our sense of the shape of creativity and
of originality must always be in question if we are to flourish.
Sonic Outlaws does precisely that." - Chris Chang, Film Comment
