Listen to Raymond Bien, President of General Injectibles and Signals, Inc., announce the latest album project by culture-mulching pioneers, Negativland: "Over the Edge, Vol. 9: The Chopping Channel", which shall be released worldwide on 21 October 2016. Special "Bonus Reality Content" included with each order for a limited time only:nwww.negativland.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=87nVideo by Ryan Worsley & GISI, assisted by Jennifer Bennett, Jack Fields and Shawn Wolfe.nnMore about Negativland:nnSince 1980, the 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 Floptops known as Negativland, a performance and recording group based in the San Francisco Bay Area, have been creating records, CDs, video, fine art, books, radio and live performance using appropriated sounds, images, objects, and text.nMixing original materials and original music with things taken from corporately owned mass culture and the world around them, Negativland re-arranges 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.nnOver the years Negativland's "illegal" collage and appropriation-based audio and visual works have touched on many things - pranks, media hoaxes, advertising, media literacy, religion, the evolving art ofncollage, the bizarre banality of suburban existence, creative anti-corporate activism in a media saturated and multi-national world, file sharing, intellectual property issues, wacky surrealism, evolvingnnotions of art and ownership and law in a digital age, and artistic and humorous observations of mass media and mass culture.
