Blog 1 Prompt: Remix Examples

For your first blog post, find one example of remix and describe it. If we define remix as a creative reworking of an existing media object, what source media is your chosen remix derived from? How does it transform that source media’s meaning? Does it cut parts out? Repeat things? Bring in elements from other media objects? Does it feel intended for an audience different from the original source material’s? If you need inspiration, Lessig goes through several examples of remix in this week’s reading, and Top 40 radio is a common breeding ground for them, too (think a club version of a popular song).

Your post should be around 300 words, tagged with “blog 1: remix”. Please embed your remix into your post – like with .gifs, you do this with the “add media” button.
