    When you press the button: read my lips on the right hand side, you can watch a series of remixed videos. Nr. 1 is the Bush-Blair love song. Nr. 2 is Silvio Berlusconi singing: Just a giggolo... all of them are political remixes. Lessig mentions the maker of those videos in his book.

      Hm, that doesn't seem to fit with Lessig and others' arguments about the music industry suing people who use remix?
  • “appropriation” never completely left its original art world context where it was coined.
  • I think that “remixing” is a better term anyway because it suggests a systematic re-working of a source, the meaning which “appropriation” does not have
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • The other older term commonly used across media is “quoting” but I see it as describing a very different logic than remixing. If remixing implies systematically rearranging the whole text, quoting refers inserting some fragments from old text(s) into the new one.
  • “montage” and “collage”
  • three differences.
  • we can say that if modernist collage always involved a “clash” of element, electronic and software collage also allows for “blend.

      This is really interesting!! Consider in relation to our discussions about film theory and editing - Kuleshov, Eisenstein and more.
  • database of culture
  • Remixing originally had a precise and a narrow meaning that gradually became diffused
  • If post-modernism defined 1980s, remix definitely dominates 2000s
  • Wired magazine devoted its July 2005 issue to the theme Remix Planet.
  • In his book DJ Culture Ulf Poschardt singles out different stages in the evolution of remixing practice
  • Around the turn of the century (20tth to 21st) people started to apply the term “remix” to other media besides music: visual projects, software, literary texts

    Useful short article by Lev Manovich, who is a prominent scholar of digital culture, about the history of remix and its relationship to other related practices in art and literature (appropriation, quoting, montage, etc). Read this!

iterating toward openness » Blog Archive » What's the Inverse of Remixing?... - 1 views

    Dave Wiley introduces the notion of unmixing, as opposed to remixing. He states that since remixing includes a recontruction of meaning (references), and introduction of new references to sections of text, using a hypertext script would constitute something else, namely a unmix. (Hmmm)
