Dutch television showed the "NPS Cultuurprijs" last wednesday.
The merits of three -young- dutch artists were evaluated and one of them
would win, indeed, the NPS Cultuurprijs. Among the artists was Ebo Man
(eventually it was he got the award). Jury was especially impressed with
his video-sampling setup, which appears to be exactly the same kind of
setup Locust uses from what the people here have described.
My query is as to who came up with this (rather obvious) idea, or rather
who did it first.
From the television broadcast it was unclear as to how long Ebo Man had
been toying with the video-sampling idea. A couple of years maybe. Last
week perhaps. His whole life probably.
Pascal.
