It Is The Peculiar Power Of The Moving Image That While It May Be Depicting A Fiction, Our Viewing Of It Is Real And Therefore The Experience And Memory We Take Away From It Is Filed Away With All The Other Events And Memories That Have Actually Happened To Us. The Artists In Cut Have Taken The Material Of Their Realitythe Movie And The News Programand Manipulated It To Reveal Its Power To Communicate And Shape Reality. Clearly Indebted To The Appropriation Strategies Of The 1980S And Sampling In Hip Hop And Rap Music Of The 1990S, These Artists Are United By Their Gestural Use Of Editing.
