Errata Erratum by Paul D. Miller
www.moca.org/museum/digital_gallery.php

"In the chain of reactions accompanying the creative act, a link is missing.
This gap, representing the inability of the artist to express fully his
intention, this difference between what he intended to realize and did
realize, is the personal 'art coefficient' contained in the work. In other
words, the personal 'art coefficient' is like an arithmetical relation
between the unexpressed but intended and the unintentionally expressed…"
Marcel Duchamp, from "The Creative Act," 1957

The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, is pleased to present Errata
Erratum by Paul D. Miller. Based on the work of Marcel Duchamp, Errata
Erratum features audio remixes of Duchamp's Errata Musicale and his
revolutionary lecture "The Creative Act," combined with visual animations of
Duchamp's rotoreliefs and disc-shaped graffiti tags by Miller himself. Part
homage, part critique, Errata Erratum examines ideas of circularity,
rotation, repetition, looping, and strategic selection by allowing you to
create your own "remix" by manipulating the both audio and visual elements
through a control panel. Inspired by Duchamp's concept of "musical
sculpture," Miller integrates the concept of mixing sound as a form of
sculpture, based on contemporary art forms such as hip-hop and dub reggae.


Paul D. Miller is a conceptual artist, writer, and musician whose artworks
have appeared in the Whitney Biennial, The Venice Biennial for Architecture,
and the Ludwig Museum in Cologne. He is perhaps best known as Dj Spooky that
Subliminal Kid, a constructed persona who uses a variety of digitally
created music as a form of postmodern sculpture. He has recorded a huge
volume of music and collaborated with a variety of pre-eminent musicians and
composers, including Ryuichi Sakamoto, Kool Keith (a.k.a. Doctor Octagon),
Yoko Ono, and Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth.
