Remix Culture

  Remix did indeed take over our original culture. Is there any more room for creativity? Where is the place for originality? I don't know... I guess  it is found inside the remix itself; How original is your way of remixing. remix? Then comes remixes of remixes. Where does it really end?

 

  For instance in the music industry, most of the songs that we now hear are samples from the beginning of the 90's. But then they make 2,3.4 remixes of the same song! Kind of senseless...

  Still it is not only made with audio it has also expanded to visuals. though I found the audio remixes useless and boring, the visual remixes are, to my opinion, a bit more defendable. Why? Simply because visual are, for the most part, remixes themselves. For instance, Picasso was a great painter. He could pain whatever he wanted but in an abstract way that helped for-see  his mind. Painting something therefore became the remix of reality; an eye became bigger than the other and a person turned into shapes.

  It seems that audio is used, nowadays, to sell and thus people remix over and over again the same recipes. On the opposite, visuals are there to explain, to express to teach and remixing becomes a way to increase or lower the level of understanding that we want others to reach by looking at our art.
