substance theory presents... ...in association with SeeThruAliens & 4Deep:::
REBIRTH.
ATL's premiere screening of DJ Spooky's "ReBirth of a Nation"
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"Like an acrobat drifting through the topologies of codes, glyphs and
signs that make up the fabric of my everyday life,
I like to flip things around."
- Paul D. Miller
Nearly 100 years after D.W. Griffith's epic The Birth of a Nation was released, performance artist and musician Paul D. Miller, a.k.a DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid, has applied a "DJ mix" to one of the most revered and reviled films ever made. Miller's reading of the overt racism depicted in a Reconstruction-era South hurtles Griffith's images into the 21st Century, a socio-political landscape that has evolved beyond all expectations. Originally commissioned as a live multimedia performance, this theatrical version features an original score by Miller, performed by Kronos Quartet.

film press:
"Arguably no one is more responsible for propagating and embodying the idea of the deejay as "artist" than DJ Spooky, whose ambitious, elaborate, often hypnotic soundscapes have been notable as much for their eclectic imagination as for their post-modern intellectualism."
-Chicago Tribune
"Silent film scores were grandiloquent, meant to heighten what we saw on screen. Mr. Miller's score, by contrast, deflects our responses, then alters them. A hip-hop drum beat pulses. (It sounds African and urban American.) A wash of industrial sound is joined by bells and cymbals; a dissonant violin; blues fragments. These are the sounds of history and racial complexity that Griffith tried to suppress."
-New York Times
"This man is as brainy as a Mensa meeting, sharp as Zorro's sword, funny as Falstaff. He is Einstein with a better haircut, a streetwise black Tolstoy, a revved-up renaissance man for the digital age, obsessed with art, information and digital technology."
-Sunday Star Times – Aukland, NZ
