Jamie talks about his fascination with tesla, and progression to his exhibition at exit art (Art Generator), his GhostBus Tour, an urban exploration of New York through the film Ghost Busters.

This idea of cultural references, there is more to it than he thought.

Standard research practice, but tapping the wierdness that is New York, how to rethinking the spaces you inhabit. Through  orthodox jewishness, New York, a space where people could work on the sabath.

Media ownership, how can you create your own copyright policy, a plain language copyright, “please do not sue us”

ChipTune Marching Band. Hippy loving music, but electronic, participate in a creative ecology. Is it like a fluxus kind of thing?

Research as immersion, what he is interested in is exploring the constellation of ideas, but in a direction of rendering, of making works.

Teaching by overwhelming

Thinking for doing requires instantaneous documentation, fast turnaround time, however it does require environments.

Now is the 10questions in 10 minutes (Sarah)

who is the we? collaborators / curators

what is the generation? Y him with lego watching ghostbusters

what audience did that piece (Ghost Bus Tour) attract? that generation….people had fun

what is the longevity of that piece? it continues online, it dosent feel done, but it is done

ethnographic aspects of the chiptunes? Need a deigned workshop, not just learning but having a learning experience that is shared. (cult like?). New linkages made. Workshopped performance is a new one.

Intent is still that the workshp happens, but that it could also happen as an instructable, as a series of resources. But would it be as fun as DIWO.

OCD/Overengineering what is it?

Jamie cant/wont necessarily characterise the stuff that came out of chiptune, but Aretti will use her ethnographic tools to unlock and analyze this work.

Performance

New piece : i love the internet and the internet loves me-Facebook database9dynamic idiosyncratic), text to speach9largely anachronistic), physical setup (variable).

How do you capture this piece,
