Cory Arcangel lecture

I was really exicted to see the Cory Arcangel lecure and it really was everything I was hoping for. I had seen video of some of his previous lectures, so I sort of knew what to expect, but I was glad that we got to see some of his newer work (the Dazed and Confused dub was amazing, for example).

It was especially interesting to see him in person, though, because afterwards I was talking with Steve and mentioned that I thought much of Cory's lectures are performance in a really literal way. In fact the next day Joel (who didn't go to that particular lecture, but has seen previous ones) commented on the same thing. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but it seems like there's some meta-work going on outside of Cory's projects that I'm starting to enjoy more, though I'm not quite sure what it is.

The Cory lecture was a really cool experience.
His work does have some underlaying social-context messages. Which something all artists in any medium strive for.
