GIRLTALK
Fast forward to 2007 - the mashup has evolved.
Girltalk (Gregg Gillis) is a sample based artist. He has an album out on a label called Illegal Art. His songs combine bits of hundreds of song. His live show is a riot - he gets naked and flails around on stage and the crowd loves it.
Gregg also leads a double life - by day he works as a bio-medical engineer - creating products that depend on intellectual property. Each weekend he flies somewhere in America to perform a mashup show where he violates the intellectual property of the record industry.
Gregg is a positive example: the Creative process in action. It is a visceral example that creativity builds on the past - that art NEEDS to be re-invigorated, and that copyright can restrict this process. Gregg is remixing our culture, bringing it forward, revitalizing it. This should not be a crime.
