#hacking art

The Ultimate Hack | by Yucef Merhi Excerpt of an interview by Kader Attia for the documentary "The Message is the Medium", presented at Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin, 2019)

The art of creating, mixing, combining, and hacking music is not complete without the visual aspects of it all.  If I could think of one reason why spinning discs are still around in music – it is because it gives people the sense of time and motion.  We know how a record works, but we don’t know what the DJ is doing to produce a certain sound or effect.  This is kind of like a magician, who cannot break physical laws, but they can shift our attention to certain things to give us the effect that these laws are being broken. Seeing a complete DJ setup in motion is like watching a work of art that creates another work of art.  Even old and vintage gear gives music that special appeal; knowing it can be done with the bare essentials as well as something advanced and high tech.  Blood and electronics are a strange mix, but you should not be surprised someone has explored two objects that do not belong in the same sphere.  Take it for what it is – this is an attempt at creating something wondering for both our eyes and ears to imagine.  Feel free to disagree as well. http://createdigitalmusic.com/2014/07/blood-electronics-dont-miss-stunning-new-lusine-arterial-video/
