the remix and the exquisite corpse

clipped from www.networkedcollab.org The whole notion of the remix as it relates to participation is very post-modern and very American. “The older American folk culture was built on borrowings from folk culture; the new convergence culture will be built on borrowings from various media conglomerates” (Convergence, 137).� Like Umberto Eco comments, it’s all been done before: “…no film can be experienced with fresh eyes; all are read against other movies.� In such a world ‘cult has become the normal way of enjoying movies’” (Convergence, 98).��
