#17 NetRadioHomerun (T. Kogawa / J. Oenokiv / M. Saito / H. Tanaka) - Waiting for Godot in Cyberspace
Kurt Schwitters’ attempts crystallized what Walter Benjamin wanted to argue by the “philosophical re-evaluation of surrealism”. That is “to capture an image of history in the most subtly fixed, the garbage/trash of present existence”. That’s why we, NetRadioHomerun collective (Masaki Saito, Jun Oenoki, Hiroyuki Tanaka and me) used the sound materials from the electronic ‘garbage dumps’ and entitled our homage to Schwitters as ‘Cutting-up “Waiting for Godot” in cyberspace’. Certainly, William Burroughs’ and Beckett’s ‘automaton’ character Lucky followed something from Schwitters as well as DJ’s “cut ‘n’ mix”. (Tetsuo Kogawa)
