Remix: Basic definitions

DJ Spooky AKA Paul Miller

DJ Spooky AKA Paul Miller

Remix as a process:

  • Usually applied to different media forms and media objects: printed media, photographs, images, advertisements, music, videos, etc.

  • Can be applied to systems (more on that later)

  • Digital formats make this process highly accessible and streamlined

Steps of a Remix:

  1. De-construction (Not full destruction - the original meanings of the piece should still be partially readable or recognizable)

  2. Re-combination - allows an opportunity to create new meanings

  3. Redistribution - allows an opportunity to create new contexts AND destabilize the meanings of the original source materials
