Negativland - "Pastor Dick's Mailbox"
Click here to launch the site in a new window.

Statement:

Pastor Dick has been a long time associate of Negativland's, spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ since 1981. Working with Negativland on stage, CD, video and radio, Pastor Dick has most recently been praised and attacked for his innovative web site "PASTOR DICK'S JUKEBOX" (http://www.negativland.com). Pastor Dick has received so many letters about the Christ-centered music reviews on this website that Negativland decided to present a selection of them for your enjoyment and called it "PASTOR DICK'S MAILBOX" (also at http://www.negativland.com) . It is this additional letters selection that has won a special award from YEAR ZERO ONE for its state of the art web design. Enjoy...

Bio:

Since 1980 Negativland have been creating records, video, radio, web sites and live performance using appropriated sound, image and text. Taken mostly from corporately owned mass culture, Negativland re-arranges these bits and pieces to make them say things they never intended to. In doing this kind of cultural opposition and "culture jamming" (a term coined by Negativland in 1984), Negativland have been sued twice for copyright infringement and have, since 1991, been aggressively and publicly involved in advocating a significant reform of this nations copyright laws.
