PRANKSTER DICE: Faith in the Internet, Restored.

07 April 2009

Watching docus in parts on youtube is strangely satisfying. Especially when the subject matter involves urban wastelands and the roots of techno.

Begs the question - where does creativity begin? In the mind of the artist, regardless of location or in the environment where the artist physically is?

I've always thought about this in reference to a place like Daly City which had hatched such superfreaks as Qbert (and many turntablists), UFO! and more.

Would there have been such a movement in the late 90's if those kids didn't grow up in an environment where they had to use their imagination more?

Potentially because they didn't live in the assumedly MORE artistically active city of SF?; April 9, 2009 at 12:22 AM

And yes, the French have an appreciation for the Quel.; April 9, 2009 at 9:20 AM
