Welcome
to the only official site for People
Like Us and Vicki Bennett.
For
17 years Vicki Bennett has been making CDs,
radio, and A/V multimedia under the name People
Like Us. Ever since she has been animating and
recontextualising found footage collages with
an equally witty and dark view of popular culture
with a surrealistic edge, both pre-recorded
and in a live setting. Vicki has shown work
at, amongst others, Tate Modern, The National
Film Theatre, Purcell Room, The ICA, Sydney
Opera House, Pompidou Centre, Sonar in Barcelona
and The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. She
has also performed radio sessions for BBC's
John Peel, Mixing It, and also CBC, KPFA and
does a regular radio show on WFMU which has had over 3/4 million realplayer hits.
This year has seen the launch of the first People Like Us Retrospective, at alt.gallery in Newcastle Upon Tyne, a feature in The Wire, the release of online-only album Rhapsody in Glue with artist Ergo Phizmiz, a CD curated for Sonic Arts Network entitled Smiling Through My Teeth, and the return of DO or DIY on the air at WFMU every Monday evening.
Vicki was recently awarded the Great North Run Moving Image Commission 2009.
