Welcome to #middremix! With the spread of digital
technologies, remix has come to the forefront as a major form of artistic work
and of cultural and political commentary. In this class, we will examine how
digital technologies shape transformative creativity. Drawing on the work of
theorists such as Lawrence Lessig and DJ Spooky, we will consider the creative
and legal ramifications of remix logics. We will explore a range of remix works
across media, with a focus on video remix. Students will also produce remixes
on a weekly basis. And don’t worry; if you’re interested in other forms of
remix, you’ll have the opportunity to integrate those interests as well.
