Fast mash attacks George Bush.

by Richard McKinnon at 09:59PM (PDT) on September 23, 2005 | Permanent Link | Cosmos

Turbulent times create memorable protest. Two rappers, Legendary K.O, used Kayne West's outburst statement against President Bush on the Katrina telethon to create a mash called "George Bush doesn't care about Black people" Words (beyond West's lashing) by the Rappers, Kayne's music. So a remix!. It took them 30 minutes. 30 minutes!

They posted it to the net. Half a million downloads says it hit a nerve. Radio stations picked up the song from the net, including K.O's own site.

Then Black Lantern created a music video from K.O.'s remix, added in footage from Kayne's telethon appearance and other luminaries to make a searing point. His site suffered bandwidth overload as a result.

The cycle of creation was fast, efficient and demonstrated absolutely the new way entertainment is created and distributed.

Perceptric Forum

According to Wikipedia a perceptron is a type of artificial neural network.

Ergo a “Perceptric” is a person who creates or uses a neural network.

The Perceptric Blog is where Chris Gilbey posts thoughts, ideas, and links intended to stimulate thought and accelerate the transfer of ideas.

Chris is available for consulting work with the premise that it is not technologies that are disruptive so much as the people that use them.

The Perceptric mission is to help companies and people reach their goals and exceed their expectations. This will often mean offering counterintuitive conclusions.

Our view? The shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line. It's the number of people needed to be present in a human network to influence and deliver positive decision making.
