Mixing original materials and original music with things taken from corporately owned mass culture and the world around them, Negativland re-arrange these found bits and pieces to make them say and suggest things that they never intended to. In doing this kind of cultural archaeology and \"culture jamming\" (a term they coined way back in 1984), Negativland have been sued twice for copyright infringement. Their art and media interventions pose both serious and silly questions about the nature of sound, media, technology, control, ownership, propaganda, power, and perception in the United States of America. Their work is now referenced and taught in many college courses in the US, has been written about and cited in over 150 books and legal journals, and their favorite video game is Katamari Damacy.\r\n\r\nSUE-C\r\nSUE-C is a projectionist, engineer and educator working at the intersection of creative coding and live performance. She has created handmade videos and live media performances, taught college level courses and workshops, and traveled extensively in the USA and internationally since 1999. Her work blends technology, photography, video and everyday objects into an improvisational animation “instrument” using her own custom software and live cameras. Working in tandem with musicians, “her camera is equipped like a microscope, turning the scrap store objects into a visual equivalent of ASMR.” (From The Wire, November 2021).
