Response 10: “A Taxonomy of Digital Video Remixing: Contemporary Found Footage Practice on the Internet by Eli Horwatt

In this weeks reading, the idea of remix has taken a stand to direct uses viewers to the mess displays of mainstream media. Such as the main focus, political remixes that reflect the government and trailer remixes that reflect film form through mash-ups and trailer re-cuts. In opinion, I support how remix viewers are now able to voice out their opinions about the mainstream videos, music, films and many other that just need to have an another opinion.

Furthermore, I agree now that communication is not just one way anymore from the mainstream media to the viewer, but also both an interaction of both sides stating their supportive viewpoints of how the media is displayed.

It’s just wonderful how remix has developed to a new point of era where artist are able to send out their messages about media through using the capturing of videos and internet. On the other hand, copyright is not in favor of theses acts. Hopeful, copyright will change over the years like Dave has reminded us about how copyright is so strict through American. I wonder if in the near future that everyone can just accept “Remix” as part of media and not as an act.    

Looking At the Image

Response 9: Roman Mars' radio interview with Max Neuhaus on "Radio Net," produced for Re:sound, WBEZ Chicago, 2005

              Max Neuhaus artistic talent of using taken sounds was really interesting since his experiment with sounds let him create some type of new sound that was taken sound heard before, but when mixed it gives out a cool interesting sound that listeners couldn’t know until the sounds are broken up then the listener will understand what the sound were individuals. In my opinion, I found him a great contributor into the new ago of producing new sounds and the idea would not everything should be created by scratch, but it could be taken sounds that can still that produce surprising sound through remix.

Furthermore, his experiment the “RadioNet” suggested callers to place sound into the phones to create a new music through the mixture of the sounds from the phone contributors. I believe this experiment set the toll on remixing sounds into music. Also, it let radio turn from a 1 way toll into a 2 way toll so listeners can give their opinion which I agree was a great idea in my opinion since he provided the listeners the change that taken sound can be create in this new format of music artist. Overall, I really enjoy the break through that he had done with sound and I hope one day I will be able to conduce breaking experiments like Max Neuhaus.
