His book, Sound Unbound (MIT Press) is a best-selling anthology of writings on electronic music and digital media.
In this discussion, Paul shares his views on rethinking capitalism, Earth as spaceship, our sense of Locality, the creation of a “Massive Social Sculpture,” the myth of rationality, the myths of advertising, the crisis of democracy, nature deficit disorder, sleep deficit disorder, and the immense imperative to work toward mental health, ethical culture, social justice, climate justice, and a saner, biomimetic future. He calls us to “pull carbon out of the air,” to “plant trees,” and to “cultivate algae” to help heal our planet. Recognizing the fundamental necessity of an informed populace for a well-functioning democracy, DJ Spooky suggests that “sunlight” (ie: transparent information) is the antidote to political pathology.
DJ Spooky also discusses his personal well-being practices, which include lots of walking and drinking tea and fresh-squeezed fruit and veggie juices on a daily basis. Keep an eye out for his “Massive Social Sculpture” works. More at: djspooky.com.
