Because we need mORe deconstruction
So, I believe deconstruction theory would champion those who lip sync on webcams, like Gary Brolsma and “Numa Numa.” Because taking apart the meaning reveals there is no center. That a lip sync of “Numa Numa” is just as important as the actual band who wrote and performed “Numa Numa.”
It’s why Andy Warhol’s perpetual soup can series is important. A copy of the real thing…because this shows us that there is no Original Campbell’s Tomato Soup as archetype. And thus we are free of all the other signifiers which bind us in False Centers of Meaning. This helps free our minds…(once we get done analyzing WHY).
And outside of the perpetual mirrors of lit crit madness comes Billy Reid with this WONDERFUL deconstruction of the IMPORTANT lip syncers of our time. By lip syncing himself in a self-referential lip sync.
Thank the gods and goddesses. I’m going to LAUGH now and try to get back to doing what I was doing before I thought I had to sound smart…
