MashUp: The Birth of Modern Culture' traces the inexorable rise of collage, montage, sampling and the cut-up. It explores their roots in the multiple perspectives, montages and readymades of Marcel Duchamp, Kurt Schwitters and Hannah Höch, and follows through to the postmodern network culture of the present—where remixing and co-production are the norm and where the New Aesthetic seeks to harmonise the now-everyday crossover of the digital and the actual. The book addresses the development of détournement and deconstruction in art, architecture, music and society, and examines the lasting impact of such seemingly disparate cultural phenomena as voguing; hacking, and the use of audio and film as a kind of a globally available, open-source language in vidding, hip-hop and dub; and in art that deals with the mass proliferation and dissemination of images and knowledge brought on by digital technologies.
