DJ Spooky has said that much of his work "deals with the notion of the encoded gesture or the encrypted psychology of how music affects the whole framework of what the essence of 'humaness' {{sic}} is... To me at this point in the 21st century, the notion of the encoded sound is far more of a dynamic thing, especially when you have these kinds of infodispersion systems running, so I'm fascinated with the unconscious at this point."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hyperdub.com/softwar/spooky.cfm |title=ªªHyperdub¬¬¬¬¬Softwar |date=July 3, 2004 |access-date=February 8, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070121184742/http://www.hyperdub.com/softwar/spooky.cfm |archive-date=January 21, 2007 }}</ref>
