Dan Black, DJ Shadow & Daft Punk Postmodernism

Participation
Daft Punk allows people to participate within 'harder, better, faster, stronger' through the use of an app which gives the sound samples used by Daft punk so anyone could attempt to replicate their song.

Modification
DJ Shadow uses modification to mix many various different sound samples to create his own brand new song, through the use of DJ decks and scratching etc.

Authenticity Disrupted
Dan black uses his music and video to emphasise that it is a copy of something else, nearly every element within the music video and song has been copied, except from its song lyrics.

Originality
Dan Black and DJ Shadow can all be questioned about their originality, as although they all use other songs, which is unoriginal, they create brand new, never before heard music which could be called 'original'.

Does knowing how to make it, or making it easy to reproduce make it less impressive?
yes it does kind of because it makes everybody feel like they have the same amount of skill as daft punk for example in the app, however, not everyone does it because everyone can try to recreate the songs, however it will never be exactly the same as the original song.
