“Mashup Worldwide – An International Video Mixtape Journey”
Reddy’s program is a compilation of artist and amateur videos that combine originally produced video content with popular audio and video samples, sometimes utilizing commercial gaming and animation technology, or novel video mixing/scratching software.
Side A will include artists videos from: Eboman who utilizes submitted video tracks and combines them with live video scratching techniques; Swati Khurana who creates evocative Bollywood movie mashups that explore Diaspora experiences of desire and gender identities; Nina Paley, who sets her animated tales from the Hindu epic Ramayana against 1920’s jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw; and Richard Wilson whose √¢‚Ǩ≈ìthe problems with infinity…" is a Quicktime movie that turns the Mac pointer icon into a the star of its own psychedelic musical. More TBA.
Side B features lo-res amateur mashup videos selected/remixed to demonstrate how video sharing technology allows for playful international dialogue around pop culture phenomena including various versions of: “The Bird Flu Dance” to Soulja Boy’s “Crank Dat.” Technical Assistance provided by Jawad Metni / pinholepictures.com
