ABSTRACT Sample-based media producers compose their art for machines. They implement aural effects and editing techniques to their source media, which very directly affect the sound of their music, but the aesthetics of which are not aimed at human ears; they are aimed at convincing copyright bots their media is not worth “flagging.” We offer machinic enculturation as a term descriptive of the phenomenon of adapting one’s media practices to machinic audiences. Then, using the basic operations of rhetoric (addition, omission, transposition, and transmutation) and a stylistic framework (antithesis, apostrophe, and reasoning by question and answer), we demonstrate a born-digital aesthetic, moored in the rhetorical prowess of some producers as they compose their music for copyright bots.

机器文化、版权机器人和为机器编写混搭的美学

摘要 基于样本的媒体制作人为机器创作他们的艺术。他们对源媒体实施听觉效果和编辑技术，这非常直接影响他们的音乐声音，但其美学并非针对人耳；他们旨在说服版权机器人，他们的媒体不值得“举报”。我们提供机械文化作为一个术语来描述使一个人的媒体实践适应机械观众的现象。然后，使用修辞的基本操作（加法、省略、换位和嬗变）和文体框架（对立、撇号和问答推理），我们展示了一种与生俱来的数字美学，它植根于某些人的修辞能力制作人为版权机器人创作音乐。
