Mark Hosler puts his body to the test during the extreme heat in the name of science.
Hosler noted the most alarming difference was a change in the creatinine level in his kidneys changed from 0.8 before he ran to 1.5 immediately after and a reading of 1.6 10 minutes after that.
Hosler's research includes data that the hottest recent summers in the area were 1954 and 1980.

 Chad Dickerson’s blog » Blog Archive » My day with Mark Hosler of Negativland
Mark lives in North Carolina now and his parents live in the East Bay where Mark grew up, so he was staying with them on this trip to the west coast (Mark and Negativland are preparing for two rare live shows at the Great American Music Hall later this month).
Mark told me that when his mom flew to NY for the opening of their big 25th anniversary show (link to the gallery here, and mention on BoingBoing here), she transported carefully-wrapped homemade brownies on the plane.
Mark had to leave some Negativland merchandise in my car since he was going to take BART home later that night and couldn’t carry it all.

 Las Vegas City Life
Hosler laughed at the reference to one of the band's oft-played tracks from its 1987 release Escape from Noise: "I don't know if we can talk about that in Las Vegas," he said in a conspiratorial tone, as if the Surveillance Nation was listening in.
The quest to make its own version of "really cool, weird neat art" has led Negativland on a 25-year odyssey that has taken them from a modest desire to create aural collages using original and appropriated materials to elder statesman status as standard-bearers for the fair-use doctrine of music sampling as a legitimate art form.
Hosler's multimedia presentation this weekend at SEAT serves not just as an introduction to Negativland's work, but as a history in miniature of the intellectual property issues that have bedeviled samplers over the last 20 years.

 Interview - Shift
Mark Hosler is an artist who remains committed to keeping his politics and his principles clearly separate from his pocketbook.
Mark: The first time Don Joyce of Negativland heard that ad he called me up and said we might as well stop working on the Dispepsi album because there was a commercial that was a hair's breadth away from a song on our record.
Mark: Casey did receive death threats from a fan of ours, but we didn't ask anyone to threaten or kill him, we asked people to write him nice letters pointing out that he was being a hypocrite.

 Rhizomes 9: William J. Emerson III
For example, at the conclusion of Mark’s presentation he mentioned being “optimistic about the human race over the next 1000 years,” thus departing from the pessimism that tends to dominate contemporary leftist thinking.
Hosler alleged that the Allied Media Conference was the first time that he had shown the video to an audience, but given his propensity for simulacra, I could not help but wonder if I was being manipulated into feeling on the inside, privy to information known only to the few.
To this Mark asked, “why can’t we use ubiquitous music?” The band was sued by U2’s record label along with being abandoned by their own label, SST.

 Leslie Savan, Mark Hosler interview
MARK: A guy on the show today was characterizing me as an anarchist and I said, "Well, no, I certainly have some leanings that way, but you might say I'm a benevolent capitalist." I run my own business with my friends.
MARK: I think if you got people to be honest about how they feel, all those people that look like they're having a great time at that dance club out in New York would say they're aliens; that they're not quite part of the human race.
MARK: Well, we were aware of that and we were playing with that in the work, but part of me felt very depressed.

 Wired News: Samples Silence Negativland
Negativland's Mark Hosler, however, claims that the industry-sponsored organization has instilled a sense of fear among manufacturers through recent high-profile lawsuits.
Hosler noted that none of the fragments are longer than five seconds and that each sample appears only once on the album, which is titled Over the Edge Volume 3: The Weatherman's Dumb Stupid Come-Out Line.
Hosler acknowledged that the band did not consult the RIAA, because "we knew what they would say." He said the plant offered to turn the recording over to the RIAA for scrutiny, but the band declined.

 Earth Wide Moth: Adventures in Illegal Art
Hosler's been involved with Negativeland for 25 years.
Hosler told us about Negativeland's well-known media prank--a press release they distributed in California about a cancelled tour, shut down because federal authorities connected them to a quadruple homicide in Rochester, Minn (much of which was fabrication, only the murders were real).
Hosler refined his craft--cuts and pastes--during the 80's and 90's.

 Negativland/Chumbawamba - Music Downloads - Online
Formed in the San Francisco area, Negativland originally revolved around the talents of Mark Hosler and Richard Lyons, multi-instrumentalists with an ear for tape manipulation of all sorts.
Apparently the still-teenage Hosler wanted it completed in part so he could feel he had accomplished something by the time he graduated from high school, a reasonable enough goal.
The ensuing five-piece lineup -- Grigg, Hosler, Joyce, Lyons, and Wills -- kept up their various explorations on the air and in the studio, not to mention irregular but creative and well-received live performances and occasional dabbling in video work.

Mark Hosler spends a lot of time with lawyers.
As a member of the social commentary-rich prankster collage band Negativland, he's been part of a scheme to falsely implicate its own music in a mass slaying, pranking the media all the way up to Rolling Stone.
In the wake of these litigations, which cost the band a fortune in both money and time as well as the rights to some of their own material, Hosler has only increased his efforts as a crusader for the freedom of artists to sample and manipulate existing works for their own creative use.

 Ruminator Magazine
Initially working on his own in Bay Area suburbia, Hosler found a group of kindred spirits who in 1980 released their first record as Negativland.
Over their next few records, the collective honed its signature mélange of sounds, which Hosler defines as “a mixture of noise, electronics, experimentation, sound [and] media, all combined with a sort of pop sensibility—a sense of songs, a sense of melody, something weirdly acceptable and engaging.
Mark Hosler: I don’t think we were ever identified as a punk band, but once that word got out, people noticed us because [our early album] covers were handmade, one of a kind —we’d inadvertently created a great marketing tool.

 [No title]
In Hosler's words, Negativland is "more self-conscious, more aware of expectations" this time.
Their creations are taken a bit more seriously now — more so, anyway, than since the recording of that first album, for which Lyons and Hosler made all the covers by hand, from wallpaper and old magazines.
As Hosler describes it, "We just let what was coming through flow out." Negativland will stay in Contra Costa because, says Lyons, reiterating the title of that piece about our economy, "This is a nice place to live." Negativland, in a rare performance, plays tonight at 11 p.m.

Freespeech vs Advertising: Negativland’s Mark Hosler on Copyright
After watching this interview, I have to say that I’m surprised that the differentiation that Hosler is drawing out is based on free vs. paid speech.
He essentially makes the case for free use of any material with the exception of advertising which ultimately looks rather like a liberal version of free speech.

 Eye Weekly - CopyCamp - September 28, 2006
At one event Hosler found himself at the complimentary cookie table next to a RIAA employee.
For Hosler, it's people using technology in the way it should be used: through filesharing that introduces an incredibly diverse range of music to people, or web communities that foster instant critical remixing and commentary.
But where Hosler sees unbridled creativity, the industry groups only see more bootleggers to battle and the resulting war on peer-to-peer (P2P) technology, like a photocopy of the prohibition era, has only succeeded in making more P2P networks.

Their followup hit controversy was over their U2 single, which featured samples from U2 as well as samples from CB Radios and, most importantly, Casey Kasem.
This one was a big one -- the single was sued out of existence by Island (as Mark Hosler later found out, instigated by U2 themselves, despite their constant claims to the contrary) and Casey Kasem.
When Negativland wrote a magazine about it, their then-label SST (at that time already having legal problems with many of their artists over unpaid royalties including Meat Puppets and Sonic Youth) sued them, also for copyright infringement -- over the re-publication of their press releases(!).
