Mash-Up, Remix: New Languages for New Technologies This page was exported from - Digital meets Culture Export date: Sat Sep 25 19:56:44 2021 / +0000 GMT Mash-up, remix: new languages for new technologies by Tania Masi The Internet Festival, to a certain extent, resembles Internet. The offer is so wide and various, even though interconnected, that you can feel lost or you can get the frenzy to see as much as possible or you can simply wander among the different places which, so as the hubs of the web, show the highest events-density. So as it happens in the web, everyone follows his path. And everyone finally meets what is most suitable for him. So as in the web, you must choose among a lot of options and you must do it quickly. Then, you follow an idea or better a word, a key word, as in the search engine. Among the many words which arose in my head by reading the schedule, finally one stayed fixed in my mind more than the others: ?mashup?. The workshop ?Mashup, remix: new languages for new technologies? was held in the theater of the Arsenale, the historical ?cinema d'essai? in Pisa. In the debate, moderated by Sandra Lischi, professor of Videoart and co-director of the Milan's Invideo Festival, interlaced and came in succession the speeches of: Derrick de Kerchove, big-famed scholar all along involved in the study of the relation between new media and social, anthropological and political changes; Mariangela Matarozzo and Alessandra Lo Russo, curators of the Mash Rome Film Festival ? at its second edition in 2013 ? and Danilo Torre, author of video works. Topic of the workshop: the mash-up phenomenon, that is the reuse of different types of video material, largely present in the web, to be transformed in various way in order to create new works.

But there is more than this. The remix culture seems to be intrinsic to the age we are living in, where nothing has a separate existence anymore and everything is continuously reused and endlessly modified. Moreover the art, according to Derrick, reproduces the deep reality of human existence and the present condition of our existences is fragmented. In the contemporary era, the unity of time and place got broken, in our lives earlier than in the works of art. Each one of us is continuously interrupted, fragmented by thousand different solicitations, crumbled. ?For example ? Derrick says with a joke ? I can imagine how many of you are contemporary listening to me and looking at the messages on the mobile phone. By now, we don't think in a linear way anymore: the electrical roundness and the visual communication substituted our traditional way of communicating and so of thinking?. The mash-up develops in different ways. One of them consists of taking a base which is common heritage, such as a famous advertisement or images of famous movies, mixing it up with different audio and video elements. This kind of remix almost always presents a strong satirical intent. In the supercut sub-kind, innumerable fragments of movies or other video material are reassembled together: a cinematographic cliché, let's say a gesture or a typical situation (walking, making love, dancing, fighting) is connected with another one, almost identical, of another movie. In this endless association the sense of what is original gets lost, every tale merges into another, everything emerges in its endless reproducibility. The mash-up is for Derrick expression of the epochal passage we are living, from a culture centred on the idea of individual, of subjectivity and therefore, for the art, of author ? an idea which historically started in another big age of passage, the Renaissance ? to a culture centred on the connectivity and the sharing. Certainly, the current mash-up creators aren't authors so as Pasolini was in ?La Rabbia?, a work which may be technically considered as predecessor of the genre (as Alessandra Russo rightly observed). We are moving from an idea of author's exclusive responsibility to an idea of responsibility shared with the observer, who is much more free, than in the past, to autonomously give a sense to what he is shown. The work of Danilo Torre ?Bank Robbers? is more than a simple demonstration of that. The screen is divided in two parts. On the right side, scenes of robberies truly happened and filmed by video cameras follow one another; on the left there are scenes of cinema robberies. Everything is not commented but by some writing at the end, among which the popular sentence of B. Brecht ?Robbing a bank is a little crime compared with the one of founding a bank?. Explaining his work Torre says that is a work on the reappropriation. But this interpretation is not the only one possible. Probably, watching the video, someone could consider it as a critic to the bad example that the cinema can give. And so on. The striking thing is that the two sequences are so much specular to confuse the boundaries between fiction and reality, as someone in the public observed. Actually every fact, from the moment when it is filmed and shown, stops to be reality and becomes performance. But there is at least a difference: in one case, the takes are made in order to intentionally create a fiction; in the other one, it's a matter of reusing material born for a different purpose. This lack of an explicit didactic intention is one of the peculiar elements for many examples of mash-up. About that, Sandra Lischi cites ?Der Riese? (The Giant), by Michael Klier. The work is completely made of supervisory cameras fragments, therefore in those takes there's no intention but supervision. Precisely by this lack of a narrative line we are pushed to try to imagine a story that goes beyond what we can see and we try to imagine, for example, what's going to happen to that subject suddenly gone out of the camera field. The Mash Rome Film Festival curators talked about the mass dimension of the Mashup phenomenon and of the necessity to distinguish between works mechanically made and other works which, even if remixed , express creativity and artistic and aesthetic qualities. Surely the great diffusion of material to remix, if from one side facilitates the dissemination of the phenomenon, on the other side doesn't guarantee the quality. That is why a selection of the works, which enables the talented artists to emerge and become popular, continues to be significant. At the same time it's important that the these works are not enjoyed distractedly, privately or almost by chance, but that also for them exists the possibility to be admired on the big screen, at least in given circumstances.

Fromer* Abstract: Copyright law, which promotes the creation of cultural and artistic works by protecting these works from being copied, excuses infringement that is deemed to be a fair use. Whether an otherwise infringing work is a fair use is determined by courts weighing at least four factors, one of which is the effect of the otherwise infringing work on the market for the copyrighted work. The Supreme Court’s decision just over twenty years ago in Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. opened the door to a laudable analytical framework for the bearing of market effects on fair use. First, Campbell supports a more full-bodied investigation of the market effects—both harms and benefits—of defendants’ works on plaintiffs’ copyrighted works.

  • Video Essay, Mashup, Copy Right
    Referencing in Academia: Video Essay, Mashup, Copy right Eckart Voigts, Katerina Marshfield 1. Introduction: Producing and Podcasting Videographic Material Digital media have established a remix and mashup machine that has generated a rich range of recombinant appropriations (Voigts 2017)— compiled videos, samplings, remixes, reboots, mashups, short clips, and other material involving text, sound, and image — ​typically found (and lost) on web-based video databases. These remix practices raise ques- tions about referencing and copy right in academic teaching, learning and researching environments that have yet to be fully addressed. Five years ago, in their introduction to Transgression 2.0, Ted Gournelos and David Gunkel pointed out that mashup culture tends to operate in a murky, transgressive legal situation: [...] mashup and remixing are patently and unapologetically ille- gal. Produced by appropriating, decontextualizing, and recombin- ing the creative material of others, the mashup is a derivative ‘com- position’ that violates the metaphysical concept of originality, the cultural status of the author and the authority of authorship, and every aspect of intellectual property law and copy right (Gunkel/ Gournelos 2012: 11). In this paper, we will provide a tentative view of the current situation that has grown from a teaching project entitled ‘Producing and Podcast- ing Film Analytical Audio Commentaries’. We will proceed by providing Media in Action | Issue 2/2017 | http://mediainaction.uni-siegen.de 114 Thematic Focus : Copy right Law a short portrait of the project, before focussing on the issues of evaluat- ing and referencing videographic material, remixes and mashups. The aim of the ‘Audio Commentaries’ project was to develop student cultural techniques (in German ‘Kulturtechniken’).

  • Serial Historiography: Literature, Narrative History, and the Anxiety of Truth
    SERIAL HISTORIOGRAPHY: LITERATURE, NARRATIVE HISTORY, AND THE ANXIETY OF TRUTH James Benjamin Bolling A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Minrose Gwin Jennifer Ho Megan Matchinske John McGowan Timothy Marr ©2016 James Benjamin Bolling ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Ben Bolling: Serial Historiography: Literature, Narrative History, and the Anxiety of Truth (Under the direction of Megan Matchinske) Dismissing history’s truths, Hayden White provocatively asserts that there is an “inexpugnable relativity” in every representation of the past. In the current dialogue between literary scholars and historical empiricists, postmodern theorists assert that narrative is enclosed, moribund, and impermeable to the fluid demands of history. My critical intervention frames history as a recursive, performative process through historical and critical analysis of the narrative function of seriality. Seriality, through the material distribution of texts in discrete components, gives rise to a constellation of entimed narrative strategies that provide a template for human experience. I argue that serial form is both fundamental to the project of history and intrinsically subjective. Rather than foreclosing the historiographic relevance of storytelling, my reading of serials from comic books to the fiction of William Faulkner foregrounds the possibilities of narrative to remain open, contingent, and responsive to the potential fortuities of historiography. In the post-9/11 literary and historical landscape, conceiving historiography as a serialized, performative enterprise controverts prevailing models of hermeneutic suspicion that dominate both literary and historiographic skepticism of narrative truth claims and revives an ethics responsive to the raucous demands of the past.

  • Workshop of Potential Scholarship: Manifesto for a Parametric Videographic Criticism
    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF MEDIA STUDIES www.necsus-ejms.org Workshop of Potential Scholarship: Manifesto for a parametric videographic criticism Alan O’Leary NECSUS 10 (1), Spring 2021: 75–98 URL: https://necsus-ejms.org/workshop-of-potential-scholarship- manifesto-for-a-parametric-videographic-criticism/ Abstract This article sets out the rationale for a videographic scholarship (the audiovisual study of screen media) that adopts constraint-based or ‘parametric’ procedures, and concludes with a short manifesto com- posed according to the simple constraint of division into ten equal segments of 50 words each. The article situates a parametric practice in relation to OuLiPo (a group founded in the early 1960s to explore constraint-based approaches to writing), to pataphysics (an absurdist branch of knowledge concerned with what eludes understanding by conventional means), to themes in the digital humanities, and to the posthuman. And it issues a call to forge an ‘agonistic society’ of vide- ographic scholars who goad each other to greater achievement through the conspicuous and wasteful expenditure of resources of knowledge. Keywords: constraints, cyborg, Donna Haraway, enactment, OuLiPo, pataphysics, posthuman, potlatch, video essay Introduction: OuScholPo This essay proposes a rationale for a constraint-based or ‘parametric’ practice of videographic scholarship and is followed by a 500-word manifesto com- posed according to the simple constraint of division into ten equal segments of 50 words each.

  • In Your Dreams
    Core Apprenticeship Library Apprenticeship Sector: Arts & Culture Unit Guide: In Your Dreams In Your Dreams The In Your Dreams unit is a series of inquiry-driven lessons designed to boost students’ sophistication as nonfiction readers. The culminating zine project requires students to integrate information from multiple sources, selecting details to support a central idea. Students will also gain vocabulary skills, including the use of word roots and affixes and an awareness of words’ connotations. Students will learn to “read like writers,” which requires thinking about the choices authors have made in terms of content, format, and word choice. Unit Standards and Objectives Standard #1: Citizen Schools students will prepare a clear written communication. Standard #2: CCSS.RI.6.1: Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. Standard #3: CCSS.RI.6.2: Determine a central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through details. Standard #4: CCSS.RI.6.4: Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative, connotative, and technical meanings Standard #5: CCSS.RI.6.6: Determine an author’s point of view or purpose in a text and explain how it is conveyed in the text. Lesson Objectives: ● SWBAT identify the big idea of a text. ● SWBAT identify two details that support the big idea of a text. ● SWBAT provide a brief summary of the text. ● SWBAT read like a writer by thinking about why the author made the choices s/he did, and what the author is trying to get the reader to think, feel, or understand while they are reading.
