DESCRIPTION:DJ Spooky: Rebirth of a Nation?\n\nThursday Lates: 28 May\, 7
 pm-9pm\n \nAfter more than fifty shows around the world\, including New 
 York\, Paris and the Herod Atticus Amphitheater at the base of the Acrop
 olis in Athens and festivals ranging from Australia and New Zealand to L
 ouisville Kentucky and The Tribeca Film Festival\, DJ Spooky brings his 
 Rebirth of a Nation to the Whitworth.\n\nRebirth of a Nation is a film p
 roject based on a remix of D.W. Griffith's infamous 1915 film Birth of a
  Nation. The original film was based on a novel and theatre play by Thom
 as Dixon entitled The Clansman. DJ Spooky applies DJ technique to cinema
  in a way that parallels\, deconstructs and remixes the original.\n\nDj 
 Spooky presents the remix as an engagement with film\, music\, and conte
 mporary art. Thinking of it as\, "film as found object" in the same sens
 e that artists such as Marcel Duchamp\, Jeff Koons\, Andy Warhol\, and D
 avid Hammons\, amongst many others\, have fostered creative investigatio
 ns into the idea of found objects\, cinema\, and "appropriation art."\n\
 n “Arguably no one is more responsible for propagating and embodying the
  idea of the deejay as "artist" than DJ Spooky\, whose ambitious\, elabo
 rate\, often hypnotic soundscapes have been notable as much for their ec
 lectic imagination as for their post-modern intellectualism.”\n\n- Chica
