Got sent a link by a friend to a 4 part video series (only 3 have been completed so far) called Everything is a Remix by Kirby Ferguson. Very informative and interesting take on remix culture, by showing how everything is not only copied, but used to create new films, music, art, inventions etc.
As the dissertation I’m currently researching (I haven’t quite decided on the question yet) is essentially about this, it’s good to see that the world is beginning to reflect on the Music Industries legal team attacking Hip/Hop and Sample Based Artists through the late 80s and 90s and challenging these precedents, especially with regards to stealing old music/film/art to remix and create new, innovative and original music/film/art, that is vastly different to the original music/film/art.
1st Part is embedded below.
