About the event: Musical creation has historically evolved independent of the law. Copyright law, which protects musical works from unauthorized copying, has traditionally steered clear of intervening with the creation of music. An exploding new musical movement however, the art of the DJ, has grown in tension with the law. Rooted in the digital appropriation of sound samples and image clips, DJ music takes shape in conflict with the legal regime of copyright not yet comfortably adapted to the digital age. The event Digital Mix provides a sample of some of the hottest artists producing DJ music and digital video, as well as a lawyer and an activist working on the front line of artist-friendly copyright law reform. The event hopes to provoke not only artistic reflection, but a re-examination of how law and music can evolve together.
