Testo aggiuntivo
"Mark Amerika remixed the book! Remix your ideas. Remix your brain. Remix your eyes. Reload, refresh and open your mind. Now you can read it. The source is on the table." -Giselle Beiguelman, University of Sao Paulo
"Plato created written dialogue as interface to introduce oral people to literate reasoning. Mark Amerika shows that dialogue functions equally well to introduce literate students to electrate creativity, the update being that remixology is to dialogue what bitcoin is to money. Imagine overhearing shoptalk from the Cabaret Voltaire, extended in a virtual appropriated café into a poetics of digital textuality." – Gregory Ulmer, University of Florida
"Every bit of the source material Mark Amerika provides in this vanguard literary artwork is worth stealing! Given the branded intellectual and artistic contexts he describes, we could pay him no greater compliment than to resample and reuse his remix-writing." – Gary Hall, Coventry University
