[iDC] media curating as montage - 2 more historical lists

[Paul D. Miller]

Hello people - when I look at these lists, as a person of color, I 
find them incredibly depressing:  it makes me wonder why over and 
over and over there is limited representation of diverse points of 
view.

I guess I expected better of the list.


In any case, I'd love to amend this kind of thing with simple 
observations like:

Nam Jun Paik - Global Groove

Valentine de St. Point - "Manifesto of Lust"

Black Net Art - Keith and Mendi Obadike

Mongrel

my own work such as remixes of D.W. Griffith etc etc

Olu Oguibe

Adrian Piper's mid 1970's video works

Lorna Simpson's video work

Japanese electronic music composers like Toshiro Mayuzumi and Ryuichi Sakamoto

Otolith Collective

Blacktronica

Drexciya

there's plenty more - gasp - people of color doing digital media, and 
yes, one can think of sampling as collage/montage.


There's plenty plenty plenty more if you would open your eyes and 
look around. It's a big world.


etc etc
