Tom Woodward’s remix of an amazing talk! **The Bag of Gold** talk! Gardner Campbell, ideas and ideals! Monsterful indeed.
Thank you Jonathan Worth for directing me to this. A favourite few words, remixed in a wonderful short video. The gap between my taste and my ambitions is bound to be big initially – Ira tells us.
Information is just information
Take 2 of Cory Doctorow’s photo remix invite from Jonathan Worth. The theme from a forthcoming book by Cory ‘Information does not want to be free’.
I just wanted to make a start learning about remixing. Is it a creative act? Where is the creative act? Is it in my choice of filters in Photoshop? Is it in my ordering of video clips? The special effects chosen? The idea that everything is a remix and to some extent has always been, strikes a chord and challenges the view that creativity is originality. The underlying assumptions in what we are reading/viewing this week seems to be that creativity lies in the process of bridging the use of a known set of elements to a new narrative or purpose. Much to learn and reflect on.
