REMIX

Remix definition: separating and recombining many types of media

including images, video, literary text, and video game assets.

It is a form of creativity. Is is a culture of “rip and create” Fagerjord (2010)

RIP! A Remix Manifesto

“Our culture no longer bothers to use words like appropriation or borrowing to describe those very activities. Today's audience isn't listening at all - it's

participating. Indeed, audience is as antique a term as record, the one archaically passive, the other archaically physical. The record, not the remix, is the anomaly today.

The remix is the very nature of the digital”

(Gibson, 2005).
