Mille Plateaux's “Clicks and Cuts 2” was honoured with a Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 2001, category Digital Musics & Sound Art.
Digital machines cover up meaning, disrupt sense, delete historic markings and traces. They do not distinguish, they do calculate. Everything is determined and can be calculated. Sampling already evades the cut-up method which permanently confirms the unity of its system by cutting up and adding texts.
