human touch /// digital audio workspace

Is artificial intelligence enabling art theft and collaging previously-existing chunks of work together? or bootstrapping creativity by creating an entirely new art form? Is sampling at my home computer rather than hiring a session musician cheating? Instead of addressing these questions burning a hole in everyone’s mind these days, this piece takes on a cocky, satirical tone to flex the innate humanity in appropriating, collaging, and sampling inspiration from physical objects, print media, analog displays, and musical instruments in a trashy, high-on-its-own-supply art rock+digital/analog collage format.
