EVERYTHING IS A REMIX

Notes for Today:

Kirby Fergunson
1. Music
2. Film
3.Technology

Remix: to combine two existente materials to produce something new and you could still see the pieces from the original materials
 Ex: Music, Video, Photo

Creation


You can say everything is a Remix

A. Creativity, devine, talented, gifted

In terms of lit: Romantics were not about romance, it was to help people understand what to do or not what to do usually put out from gov or religion

Most Popular Metaphor
- Lightbulb: moment of insights,

Expect: work that is nothing alike, something Unique

How do we create?
- reality: 3 Basic Elements
        Domain Knowledge : in order to communicate with the culture, speak like everyone does
1. Copying: mimicking, gaining info, retyping everything word for word ---leads to Domain
     Knowledge
2. Transformation: producing variations, time consuming, working on something that already existed

Thomas Edison DIDNT build the lightbulb- He IMPROVED the existing design :)

3. Combinations: Merging two or more things, even if they didn't go with each other
    Ex: equations from Einstein

Seeing things in a New Perspective, in another way, having imagination

Dr.Preston added : working together, building blocks of creativity, something that could be taught

Ex: Star wars
- myth: monomyth
-30's film Flash Gordon
- The searchers (1956)
-And more films and western
-historical context

Implications: remixing the work of others

So originally is considered property- you put many time, effort, money etc but... no bcz you improvised on others materials

Two Disor...

1. The lone creator
     Popular Idea
2. Ideas are Property
     Ideas cant be stolen, you can only copy
3. Ideas contain Ideas
 
Computer Applications - Copied and kept being modified
Mac Vs. Star
Started ideas: Research and Development, contain work of others

Conclusion:
Charles V. Willie Quote

Class Discussion:
Person that is talented, they put hours in something they had to keep in practice and get better

Based on a Ted Talk:
1. Economic
2. Cultural Identity

Diploma is not a guaranteed job!!!!
Should we lower standards?
This was conceived during the Enlightenment!!! Like many years ago :0
So why do we keep using the same system
Why are we spending time on this
Standard Testing?
Is there an Academic student and non Academic? This model has caused ciao
People start loosing interest
