They weren’t cut that way to begin with. It even bugs me that they’re using remixed tracks from “Abbey Road” to Atmosfy, now you’re multiple steps from the original. The edit of “Come Together,” sounds as though Lennon’s voice is being run through a Leslie. An artifact? If it is, some engineer let it pass. > Wait, it gets worse. Forget the big budget records, more and more music is being made by individuals in bedrooms, home studios, on a budget. They have neither the equipment nor the skill to mix in Dolby Atmos. As for just sending the file to Dolby to be processed…that’s like finishing a painting and having an amateur come in and completely change it, make it 3-D. Bring in Benjamin’s sense of the aura. Will the original become an NFT?]]> music digital_literacy IP aura NFT https://pinboard.in/u:mcmorgan/b:6f3088ca1323/ 2018-08-29T14:50:49+00:00 http://www.publicseminar.org/2016/05/the-sublime-language-of-my-century/ mcmorgan Quite simply, we have run out of world to commodify. And now commodification can only cannibalize its own means of existence, both natural and social. Its like that silent film where the train runs out of firewood, so the carriages themselves have to be hacked to pieces and fed to the fire to keep it moving, until nothing but the bare bogies are left. > Could there be a way to write after Marx that isn’t based on conservative habits of mastery and interpretation, but which are based instead on experimentation and détournement? > The thought experiment that might result is quite simple. What if it was like this: There really is something qualitatively distinct about the forces of production that produce and instrumentalize and control information. This is because information really does turn out to have strange ontological properties. Making information a force of production produces something of a conundrum within the commodity form. Information wants to be free but is everywhere in chains. It isn’t scarce, and the whole premise of the commodity is its scarcity. ]]> capitalism commodification hacking IP detournment https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:mcmorgan/b:302f5b81ba46/ 2013-12-31T11:41:43+00:00 http://opensource.com/life/13/8/stealing-ideas mcmorgan open_source openaccess IP authorship https://pinboard.in/u:mcmorgan/b:a0958006812e/ 2013-06-13T15:14:58+00:00 http://chronicle.com/article/AAUP-Sees-MOOCs-as-Spawning/139743/?cid=wc mcmorgan copyright mooc IP privatization https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:mcmorgan/b:202895ec0a83/ 2012-04-15T18:33:13+00:00 http://feeds.arstechnica.com/~r/arstechnica/index/~3/JGPqAajfKfQ/new-government-report-on-ip-doesnt-say-what-big-content-thinks-it-says.ars mcmorgan ip copyright https://pinboard.in/u:mcmorgan/b:463489da95a8/ 2011-12-28T15:04:45+00:00 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16338040 mcmorgan twitter IP socialmedia https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:mcmorgan/b:756284736a33/
