Negativland Interview
7/07/2005
If you haven't read it yet, The Onion has a quite good interview with Mark and Don of Negativland. Go check it out.
When Negativland came to Tulsa in 2000 for the True/False tour, I was astounded. I have been a fan of NL for years, but I was not prepared for the enormity of creativity and genius injected into that show. To this day I have not experienced anything artistically that can even compare to it, and I hope to capture that spirit in myself someday in my own work.
I'm sure a number of people out there will experience Negativland once, maybe twice, and scratch their heads in wonderment as to why I find them so terribly inventive and inspirational. Like a rare, fine liquor, they aren't to everyone's taste, but those who do enjoy them are rewarded with wonderful complexity and wholesome goodness. To the last drop.
