[ANPPOM-L] espólio de Cage processa plágio de excerto de 4'33"

[carlos palombini]

Not daunted by John Cage's estate's lawsuit against a group that 
allegedly copied 60 seconds of John Cage's work consisting of 4 minutes 
and 33 seconds of silence (to which the group's lawyer had replied that 
Cage's lawyer had not specified which 60 seconds of silence were 
copied), conceptual artist  Jonathan Keats has now released, MyCage, a 4 
minute and 33 second ringtone, consisting of computer-generated silence. 
He views this as superior to Cage's version, as digital technology 
allows for a more silent silence (although I suppose some will argue 
that ambient noise was one of the points of Cage's work).

Sobre o silêncio de Cage, Valério da Costa me indicou um artigo muito 
bom: "John Cage's Queer Silence or How to Avoid Making Matters Worse" de 
Jonathan Katz. O link é este:
