Everything Is Sampled

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the evolution of African artistic forms since the 1980s, this book explores how digital culture influences production and circulation. It examines the impact of institutional changes on representational impulses in cinema, literature, music, and visual art, while questioning the definitions of art and authorship. By analyzing five creative practices—curation, composition, adaptation, formatting, and remix—Akin Adesokan highlights how contemporary African artists navigate and reshape their media-saturated environments, asserting their agency in the artistic landscape.
