The return of this "remix" culture could drive extraordinary economic growth, if encouraged, and properly balanced. It could return our culture to a practice that has marked every culture in human history - save a few in the developed world for much of the 20th century - where many create as well as consume. And it could inspire a deeper, much more meaningful practice of learning for a generation that has no time to read a book, but spends scores of hours each week listening, or watching or creating, media.

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 21:08:52 -0700 The Remix Age Manifesto http://oddtag.posterous.com/the-remix-age-manifesto http://oddtag.posterous.com/the-remix-age-manifesto [via] artthreat.net - Ezra Winton [link] RiP : A remix manifesto - National Film Board of Canada [txt] RIP: REMIX MANIFESTO www.eyesteelfilm.com
Digital technology opens up an unprecedented global economy of ideas. RiP explores the robber barons and revolutionaries squaring off across this new frontier as the film journeys from the control rooms of Washington to the favelas of Brazil. Along the way, Gaylor interviews key figures about the complexities of intellectual property in the digital era, among them Creative Commons founder Lawrence Lessig, culture critic Cory Doctorow, Brazilian musician and former Minister of Cultural Affairs Gilberto Gil, and Jammie Thomas, the single mom successfully sued by the Recording Industry Association of America for illegal downloading. A mash-up in itself, RiP is the world’s first Open Source documentary, shattering the wall between users and producers, and challenging the thresholds of “fair use.” A participatory media experiment, from day one, Brett shares his raw footage at , for anyone to remix. RiP’s movie-as-mash-up method allowed these remixes to become an integral part of the film.

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 18:16:55 -0700 Pop art remix http://oddtag.posterous.com/pop-art-remix http://oddtag.posterous.com/pop-art-remix txt: Andy Warhol - Wikipedia
Warhol's work from this period revolves around American Pop (Popular) culture. He painted dollar bills, celebrities, brand name products and images from newspaper clippings - many of the latter were iconic images from headline stories of the decade (e.g. photographs of mushroom clouds, and police dogs attacking civil rights protesters). His subjects were instantly recognizable and often had a mass appeal. This aspect interested him most and it unifies his paintings from this period. Take for example Warhol's comments on the appeal of Coke: "What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coca Cola, Liz Taylor drinks Coca Cola, and just think, you can drink Coca Cola, too. A coke is a coke and no amount of money can get you a better coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the cokes are the same and all the cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it." The Philosophy of Andy Warhol: (From A to B and Back Again), 1975

Wed, 07 Nov 2007 12:13:22 -0800 Remix age http://oddtag.posterous.com/remix-age http://oddtag.posterous.com/remix-age Twenty minutes to understand problems and opportunities of the digital new age. from: TED Talks - Larry Lessig: How creativity is being strangled by the law
Larry Lessig gets TEDsters to their feet, whooping and whistling, following this elegant presentation of “three stories and an argument.” The Net’s most adored lawyer brings together John Philip Sousa, celestial copyrights, and the “ASCAP cartel” to build a case for creative freedom. He pins down the key shortcomings of our dusty, pre-digital intellectual property laws, and reveals how bad laws beget bad code. Then, in an homage to cutting-edge artistry, he throws in some of the most hilarious remixes you’ve ever seen.
