*About the remixers*
Soda_Jerk (Dan & Dominique Angeloro) are two Sydney-based artists working
collaboratively in the areas of video, photomedia and installation. They
work exclusively with found material, recombining fragments of film footage,
audio samples and vintage image culture to create new works.

*About the film*
"The hour-long narrative remix video "Pixel Pirate II: Attack of the Astro
Elvis Video Clone" (2002-06) is a critique of intellectual property law that
is constructed from samples pirated from over 300 film and music sources.
 Think of it as a sci-fi / biblical epic / romance / action movie that stars
Elvis Presley, Moses, the Hulk, Michael Jackson, Jesus, Batman and the
Ghostbusters. Since its 2006 launch at the Art Gallery of New South Wales,
Sydney it has been screened internationally in the Czech Republic, Germany,
Scotland, the Netherlands, Mexico and India."
