Lunatica Desnuda: The Many Incarnations of the Mona Lisa - From Dali to Banksy - 0 views

  •  
    Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa is one of the most familiar paintings in the world, and of course, many artists have made their own versions of it. This blog post collects a couple of dozen examples, including Duchamp's famous one.

    Lots of examples of remixed Mona Lisas.

The Medium - The Hitler Meme - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • It turns out you could play make-out music, show slow-mo clips of any two male actors interacting, throw up suggestive title cards (“a truth they couldn’t deny”) and — presto — any American blockbuster could be shown to chronicle love between two men

      Interesting - and this is also relevant to Kurdin's trailer where she shows an example of Harry Potter as a Brokeback Mountain spoof. I also like the way in which the author of this article draws a conclusion that CROSSES all the remixes - the many similar remixes make an argument as a group, in a way?
  • what’s the larger point of the “Downfall” remixes?
  • satirists who for years have been snatching video and audio from “Downfall,” the 2004 German movie of Hitler’s demise, and doctoring it to tell a range of stories about personal travails and world politics.

      This should be useful for Kim's project!
  • the lesson of the parodies seems to be that “Downfall” was a closeted Hitler comedy. Having seen the spoofs before seeing the movie, I find it virtually impossible now to watch the film with a straight face
  • many of the “Downfall” parodies choose not to have Ganz-as-Hitler directly ventriloquize another politician or figure of derision. Instead, as with the Malaysian parody, the spoofs often make the new speaker a disappointed supporter of a public figure.

    Interesting NYTimes article about the many creative subtitlings of the scene from Downfall (a 2004 movie about Hitler's demise) - this article is a wonderful example of how you can analyse a whole group of remixes. If this were an academic article you'd also want to include more context about this (what is remixing? what kinds of other video/subtitle remixes exist? what sort of things are scholars writing about remixes like this?) but the ANALYSIS of what the remixes means would be perfect. I especially like how the author makes interpretations across the whole group - see some of my annotations/comments.

YouTube - Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer - 0 views

  •  
    Example of the kind of MTV music video Jenkins talks about in Textual Poachers - non-narrative, the opposite in many ways to the fan videos that are remixed from popular TV series.

Political Remix Video - The New Activism | Youth Radio - 0 views

    Short article about political remix videos - with an example at the end which is a pretty clever remix of So You Think You Can Dance with the US presidential campaigns (Obama and McCain debating). Great video.

Remix Theory » Remix Defined - 0 views

  • three types of remixes. The first remix is extended, that is a longer version of the original song containing long instrumental sections making it more mixable for the club DJ
  • The second remix is selective; it consists of adding or subtracting material from the original song
  • The third remix is reflexive; it allegorizes and extends the aesthetic of sampling, where the remixed version challenges the aura of the original and claims autonomy even when it carries the name of the original; material is added or deleted, but the original tracks are largely left intact to be recognizable
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • An example from art history in which key codes of the Selective Remix are at play is Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain (1917)
