Vicki Bennet
Since 1991 British artist Vicki Bennett has been working across the field of audio-visual collage, repurposing pre-existing footage to craft audio and video collages with an equally dark and witty take on popular culture. She sees sampling and collage as folk art sourced from the palette of contemporary media and technology, with all of the sharing and cross-referencing incumbent to a populist form.
“Her 30 year catalogue of slicing, splicing and subverting found
sounds and footage comprises albums, films, radio
shows and audiovisual performances that draw
endless connections within popular and unpopular
culture while also constantly overlapping, quoting
and reflecting themselves.”
Plunderphonics
“A music genre in which tracks are constructed by sampling recognizable musical works. The term was coined by composer John Oswald in 1985 in his essay “Plunderphonics, or Audio Piracy as a Compositional Prerogative”,[1] and eventually explicitly defined in the liner notes of his Grayfolded album. Plunderphonics can be considered a form of sound collage. Oswald has described it as a referential and self-conscious practice which interrogates notions of originality and identity.”
