• Music never stands alone. Every single song
  contains so many different influences, forming a
  collection of quotations. Nothing happens in a
  vacuum. This fact is expressed and externalized
  through DJ-ing. Making music, you are part of an
  intertwindedness of influences

• We live today in the age of partial objects,
  bricks that have been shattered to bits, and
  leftoversWe no longer believe in a primordial
  totality that once existed, or in a final
  totality that awaits us at some future date

"Art-making may be described as the process of
responding to observations, ideas, feelings, and
other experiences by creating works of art
through skillful, thoughtful, and imaginative
application of tools and techniques to various
media. The artistic objects that result are the
products of encounters between artists and their
intentions, their concepts and attitudes, their
cultural and social circumstances, and the
materials or media in which they choose to work."
Statement from Getty Museum Program in Art
Education quote as cited in Information Arts
41
Artists ability to pursue unprofitable line of
inquiry or that borderline to disciplinary
priorities to integrate disciplines and create
events that expose the cultural implications,
costs, and possibilities of the new knowledge and
technologies Arts as a zone of integration,
questioning, and rebellion to serve as
independent center of technological innovation
and development" Stephen Wilson, Information Arts
42
Critical Design - "...a space between fine art
and design, showing how designers can use fine
arts means - provoking, making ambiguous, making
strange - to question how we cohabit with
electronic technology and to probe its aesthetic
potential" Tony Dunue

The Complimentary of Art and Design
47
It is interesting to imagine a cultural ecology
where all kinds of cultural objects regardless of
the medium or material are made from Lego-like
building blocks. The blocks come with complete
information necessary to easily copy and paste
them in a new object either by a human or
machine. A block knows how to couple with other
blocks and it even can modify itself to enable
such coupling. The block can also tell the
designer and the user about its cultural history
the sequence of historical borrowings which led
to the present form. And if original Lego (or a
typical twentieth century housing project)
contains only a few kinds of blocks that make all
objects one can design with Lego rather similar
in appearance, computers can keep track of
unlimited number of different blocks. At least,
they can already keep track of all the possible
samples we can pick from all cultural objects
available today.L.M. Remixability
