Post_Samplism
My name here is "Postsamplist" in reference to the 'Post_Samplist Internotional', an art/philosophy group to which I 'belong' and which I'm researching. You could probably categorise Post_Samplism as a 'bowel movement in conceptual art', in that it seems to be a genuine movement beyond the over-familiar, interminably fashionable and pointless techniques and ironies of late c20th art.
But why 'post-samplism'? What was samplism if this is after that?
Well samplism was a movement only in retrospect and refers to a wealth of art and culture that made blatant use of previous art and culture. Probably the most familiar aspect of this might be samplism in music which was very much related to the technological 'sampling' and re-use of sounds and segments of previous musical compositions. But the so-called 'cut-up' techniques of William Burroughs and Bryoni Gysin, as well as the collage techniques of Cubists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque are also within the gamut that is 'Samplism'
