A Boxer's Soundscape is being featured in the 2011 Re/Mixed Media Festival put together by the director Tom Tenney. It will feature performances, panel discussions, hip-hop, sampling, beat-box, film & video, fashion, food, DJs, technology, interactive installations, painting, sculpture, software, hacking, and much more!
The RE/Mixed Media Festival is a 2-day celebration of collaborative art-making and creative appropriation. It's the artists' contribution to the ongoing conversation about remixing, mashups, copyright law, fair use, and the freedom of artists to access their culture in order to add to and build upon it.
Having participated in the 2010 Re/Mixed Media Festival, I have since embraced remixing via the genres of art and athleticism as I explore boxing as my latest artistic medium. A Boxer's Soundscape was recently created through an orchestrated mashup of appropriated sourced audio samples found online and original ones captured with binaural recording equipment mounted to my headgear. The resulting audio work remixes genres, audio samples, and even media as it has existed as an immersive installation at the Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum in CA, and now as a stereophonic audio piece for the 2011 Re/Mixed Media Festival in NY.
