Craig Baldwin's essay/documentary on jam/cut up/found art, specifically that of the audio visual sort. Beginning with the story of Negativeland's infamous record U2, made from a mash of Casey Kasem out takes and U2 and then examining and commenting upon the people who do this sort of collage art, their legal troubles as well as the art itself.

A good film essay on copyleft and plunderphonics focusing on Negativland (arguably the scene's most balanced blend of art and activism) though touching briefly on other figures.

Rated 29 Dec 2010

Almost a meta documentary: tells the tale of found audio music pioneers, especially Negativland, interspersed with found footage. A lot more of a comprehensible, strict documentary than Baldwin's other films, but still delightfully freeform without feeling irrelevant.
