Culture jam
In all the hub-bub over the GoDaddy SuperBowl Ad, I ran across this little tidbit in the bio of the actress who starred in it."I was originally born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin of Panamanian and German decent."
Two widely divergent cultures, yet to her, it's of no more interest than the football team she follows.
Maybe we've reached a point where we're comfortable enough with different cultures that we can pick and choose the elements from them that we like to make our own culture. We're seeing on a macro scale what's been going on in music with sampling and in art with Photoshop (and the collage before it) for quite some time. Different diverse elements are being brought in to make something bigger than the sum of their parts. One culture isn't enough for us anymore, we need to drink deeply from many different springs.
