Negativland

Negativland is an American experimental music collective known for their multimedia projects that blend sound collage, satire, and cultural critique. They manipulate recorded sounds, references, and found audio to explore themes like media influence, consumerism, and societal norms. Their work often challenges traditional notions of originality and copyright, prompting reflection on how media shapes perceptions. By incorporating diverse sources—from advertisements to news clips—they create provocative compositions that encourage listeners to think critically about cultural issues and the nature of media consumption.
