Techniques and Time
Craig Balwdin
Some useful thoughts on TECHNIQUE in remix:
Unusual juxtapositions (this doesn't belong with that!) - think about Craig Baldwin's "Tribulations 99" shown in lecture.
Remaking with variation - as in Cindy Sherman's "History Portraits" or Mel Ramos' Superman
Integration of readymade/found material - this is what Rauschnberg does in Estate and
Recontextualization from medium to medium (as in Andy Warhol's Brillo Boxes , some of Jeff Koon's work)
Idea and phrase generation from cut-up techniques (and other chance-operations) - as in cut-up novels by William Burroughs.
Altering the FORM through:
lengthening or shortening (remember 24 Hour Pyscho by Douglas Gordon)
enlarging (remember Richard Prince's Cowboy photographs)
repetition (Dara Birmbaum's Technology Transformation (Wonder Woman)
migrating from one-medium-to-another (like Cindy Sherman, ANT Farm)
revealing the original FORM - Nomi Talisman's "Other Peoples Pictures" and found-film videos.
serial techniques - Brendan Lott, Stephanie Syjuco
