  • Remixes and a sweet acoustic from the Tacking era.

    This being a mass-produced artifact of copyrighted remix versions of original compositions, Ola and Stefan Fält made the artwork a philosophical funfair horrorshow on the theme of original/copy, identity/difference and hermeneutics.

    The hierarchy of original and copy is fundamental to Western metaphysics – itself historically transferred through interpretations.

    What is an origina? How does a copy relate to an original? How does an interpretation (a remix, in this case) involve the identity of what’s being interpreted? Is an interpretation itself a new original, or are there only interpretations of interpretations? Are there no originals, just copies of copies? Is the authoritarian order of original/copy overthrown altogether by the anarchy of simulacra, or replaced by the fabric of interpretation? Is it difference that is eternally recurring?

    The CD manufacturer was confused and asked for confirmation that they should indeed print the booklet with eleven identical pages.

    Needless to say, this release is available on CD only.

    An exhibition was made in Stockholm with enlarged, backlighted artwork parts.
