Inspiring multimedia questions that might spark an idea for a remix project. 

A failed remix culture kickstarter project... Interesting to see over $5,000 of support for remix culture that goes behind the scenes of music made in other countries... why did this fail? should this guy have left his job at Apple?

Ways to "remix" magazines, or ways to work on our first remix project. 

Interesting/extremist perspective on the "corrupt" government.

is there a remix on this in your future?

I just read Abigail's post on her Remix Project, just to make sure you're asking me. So, I guess you ARE asking me...:) I might use some of this or a part of some other video LIKE this. However, after our conversation in class after "Rip," I'm thinking of altering the subject of my project slightly, i.e. concentrate more on psychedelic drugs and their potential. A lot of details would stay the same: it would still involve the government, misinformation, and the laws that take our rights, harm humanity, and prevent us from reaping the benefits of science.

Again, Jim Pavloff step by step remakes The Prodigy's song. It's really cool to see HOW it's done; maybe even get some ideas for our own projects..

Don't pay attention at the attention-grabbing title. They have the good links to what explains a fact PROVEN by a quantum physics experiment. (connects to my remix project and OUR PERCEPTION IN GENERAL!)

"Culture in Decline" homepage - the creator Peter Joseph, surrounded by all the most iconic images of our visual culture. All the images are so painfully familiar, so ingrained in our western minds, yet so upsetting and maddening. We close our eyes and cover our ears while our culture is declining because we don't want to know the truth. Instead of helping the ones in need, we lose ourselves in consumption (iPhones, Nike shoes, hamburgers, cars, bars, beauty salons, you name it!). It's time to wake up. Actually, the time to wake up is way past due: we're already late, and the damage is done. It's time for a serious damage control. (What I now have in mind for my creative project will require a portion of Peter Joseph's work).

After I stumbled upon the iconic Obama "Hope" poster, I remembered that back in 2009, artist Shepard Fairey was being sued by the owner of the original photograph (AP). Back then I was not very interested in copyright issues, so I never checked what happened with this case. It's interesting and kind of fair that AP and Shepard settled on working together, sharing the rights, and collaborating on other images+photographs. Even though Shepard transformed a "stolen" photograph, his "theft" actually put the original photo on the map. I consider it to be a fair solution for a fair use case.

Anti-corporation and pro-freedom "Rage" is one of the biggest enemies of the capitalist world. Even though they signed with Epic records (ooh, a large corporation!), they donate almost all of their income, and use their popularity to spread the message. This could be another addition to the project on global social problems. 

I'm thinking of touching on global social problems in my creative project. "Zeitgeist" movies reveal and explain these problems in the best and most understandable way possible.

The original for my project. Has been samples in several rap songs in different ways over the years. Links to follow.

i remember it well.....sigh

Something for my project: "The code of silence is usually either kept because of threat of force, or danger to oneself, or being branded as a traitor or an outcast within the unit or organization."

Testing out this method of grabbing vocals out of songs for my project. Any thoughts or other suggested methods?

another version for my project

Radiohead hosted an online project a few years back trying to get people hyped about their new album.  Online musicians were supposed to do a remix of their song "Reckoner."  My dad did one!

Another cool old style remix!!!  Now I'm thinking I might want to do something like this for my project. :)

cool! totally doable! let's talk!

Another source for my project?

The top video remixes? A little competition for our final projects maybe. 

From 10:50 Wade Davis talks about Iowaska (there are parts good for psychedelic remix project..)

This article highlights some of the fascinating videos available in the Prelinger Archives.
