video mashup demonstration
After the Wireside Chat with Lawrence Lessig, stick around for a demo by video mash-up artists Eclectic Method.
Eclectic Method – featuring London natives Jonny Wilson, Ian Edgar and Geoff Gamlen – helped
pioneer the emerging art of audio-visual mixing since first cutting U2’s Mysterious Ways music video with
the Beastie Boys’ Intergalactic as an experiment back in 2002. The trio’s audio-visual mash-ups feature
television, film, music and video game footage sliced and diced into blistering, post-modern dance floor
events. It’s a cyclone of music and images mashed together in a world where Kill Bill fight scenes and
Dave Chappelle’s Rick James rants are ingeniously cut and looped over bootleg samples, DVD scratches
and pumped-up dance anthems. It’s a real-time subversion of technology and media performed live on
video turntables for what LA Weekly called a “mesmerizing” sensory overload.
