WHAT IS, IN WHAT IS, IN PARTICULAR, PARTICULAR,

THE THE POLITICAL POLITICAL

REMIX?REMIX?

The political remix is a process of cutting and pasting video, images and words together,

trying to create something new, that expresses which is your point of view

Through the

political remix,

people can say

important things in a

playful way

Many people speak about

Political Remix, but I decided to

focus my research on:

Henry Jenkins

Jonathan McIntosh

Political Remix is the art of making do, a poached culture. It is the recontextualization of borrowed images. It is an art of quotation that anchors its images to a referent, either drawn from the fan’s meta-textual understanding of the series characters and their universe or assigned them within the construction of a new narrative.

Political Remix Video is a process of Do It Yourself cultural creation by transforming mass media fragments through re-cutting, recycling and re-framing messages. It has the potential to help us imagine a better more just society and help illuminate corruption, hypocrisy and injustice in our world.

I think that the worst enemy of

the remix video is

copyright.

Many people need to scream

and give talks to the streets to be

heard…

…others decide

to write

books…

…but with the advent of the Internet Era

appeared several new

ways to say our opinions!

is one of those new ways

The

But i think that Political Remix is one of the most important!

Some people decide to work in the shadows and you’ll never know who is the author

of the political remix video…

…others are willing to

infringe the copyrights to express their

ideas…

…they do all these things to

create

ART!

To create something that

will stay etched in time, something

you can not control the

movement…the circulation…

Words emphasize the pictures and

pictures emphasize the

words…

The beauty of these videos is that different

artists assign their own meanings to the raw materials

they share

Because they want to share

their feelings…

Political videos are a kind of memory

palace, encapsulating a

complex narrative within a smaller number of highly iconogrphic shots

Political remix video can help

society to create a critical political

consciousness!

In your life you can do whatever

you want…

…you can stay in your little shell and learn everything that

the others passively

tell to you...

…or you can get up, wake up from the slumber of

your monotonous life and start

doing something concrete!

Every person in his small can do something to

change the world and try to create a

more critical society…

……and we and we decided to decided to start from start from

the political the political remix!remix!
