We Can Work it Splice by Splice

    There is some really great work up
    at the Hamburger Bahnhof Museum right now.
    One of the best things I saw today was a video recreating one of
    Glenn Gould's most important recordings by splicing together thousands
    of samples from amateur performance videos uploaded on YouTube and
    projecting them on two enormous screens, side by side.

    Not only did this cacophonous installation offer some extremely compelling
    glimpses and juxtapositions of people, animals, instruments,
    and vintage equipment...


                                           But it sounded great too!

Well done, Cory Arcangel, that was a lot of work!
