Assignment 4 – Remix and Collage Instructor: Claudia Laska Digital Image Development Remix A remix in art often takes multiple perspectives upon the same theme. An artist takes an original work of art and adds their own take on the piece creating something completely different while still leaving traces of the original work. It is essentially a reworked abstraction of the original work while still holding remnants of the original piece while still letting the true meanings of the original piece shine through. ~Wikipedia Collage A collage is a work of formal art, primarily in the visual arts, made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. Digital collage is the technique of using computer tools in collage creation to encourage chance associations of disparate visual elements and the subsequent transformation of the visual results through the use of electronic media. ~Wikipedia Description This assignment is the first step toward Project 4 - Remix and Collage. Your ideas and approach wi be determined through the research done for the paper and the ideas determined for your proposal. Research Paper Write a full-page double-spaced paper that defines what is meant by visual remix. Investigate remix as it applies to music, video, and still imagery to get a good grasp of the subject and approach this usually takes. It is important to be aware of and include information about copyright law as it applies to remix and what the boundaries are for the imagery you will be using. Sketchbook Use your sketchbook to doodle and write ideas as you work out your concept for Project 4. Project 4 Preparation: Create 4 Composites Be ready to present your Make each 9" x 7" between 150 and 200 ppi (switch orientation if desired). work for class critiques. Using vocabulary Each comp needs to have notable dierences - experiment! learned thus far will be Each comp needs to encorporate several (at least 5) images you have "prepared" in PS essential. Hint: Design elements A few considerations after reading the Project 4 handout: and design principles... • The general approach to the project (parody, social relevance, activism, etc.) • The type of imagery you intend to use (keeping copyright law in mind) Use your own images primarily. Images that are not at the appropriate resolution will loose points!!! • The general look and feel (use adjectives and specifics that include mood and color) Due week 11 – attach your rersearch paper as .doc or .txt file to an email and send it to me before class meets.([email protected]). .

Found Footage Experience. Pratictices of Cinematic Re-Use and Forms of Contemporary Film
Found Footage Experience. Pratictices of cinematic re-use and forms of contemporary film edited by Rossella Catanese (University of Udine) and Giacomo Ravesi (Roma Tre University) In contemporary visual culture, the polysemy of cinematographic language finds its emblematic manifestation in the various paradigms of image re-use, which contextualises and relocates their functions in new interpretative formulas. The practice of found footage consists of the cinematographic, videographic and artistic practice of appropriation, re-elaboration and re- assembly of pre-existing images retrieved from heterogeneous media archives: from photography to stock footage and from home-movies to TV documentation and the web. One of the attractions of postmodern culture as a form of recycling, re-use and combination of different materials recovered from a past interpreted as a vast reservoir of imagery, found footage keeps its interest alive even in the epistemological trajectories of the so-called “new realism,” where a “society of recording” emerges (Ferraris 2011) in which everything must leave a trace and be archived. Moreover, deconstructionist thought has shown how inheritance should be understood not as a datum but always as a task, since archiving also responds to the need for regulation: preserving documents means imposing an order and establishing control through safeguarding and cataloguing devices. At the same time, audiovisual consumption practices have today become complex and composite forms of reception which rewrite the spectatorial experience and the uses and habits of accessibility, availability and relationship with films and audiovisual materials. The history of cinema is configured as a “visual deposit” (Bertozzi 2012) at the origin of the development of new formal writings and metaphorical processes.

Types of Plagiarism & Unoriginal Work
TYPES OF PLAGIARISM & UNORIGINAL WORK The following information was taken from The Plagiarism Spectrum found at turnitin.com Click to Begin #1 CLONE Submitting someone else’s work, word-for-word, as your own. Previous Next CLONE From a survey of 900 secondary and higher education instructors, on a scale of 1-10, cloning ranks 9.5 and is both the most common and most severe type of plagiarism. Frequency 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Previous Next Cloning is intentional plagiarism and includes: using a friend’s paper from a previous class, purchasing a paper from a paper-mill, downloading a paper you found online, and other instances in which you turn in someone else’s work, unaltered, and claim it as your own. Previous Next #2 CTRL-C Containing significant portions of text from a single source with alterations. Previous Next CTRL-C From a survey of 900 secondary and higher education instructors, on a scale of 1-10, Ctrl-c ranks 8.9 and is the second most common type of plagiarism. Frequency 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Previous Next Ctrl-c is a common process in which although you have written some of the assignment and included your own thoughts, there are still significant portions that match up word-for-word to another person’s writing, without citation. This occurs often when you cull “research” from various sources, when in fact all you are doing is cutting- and-pasting various sentences from various sources to create paragraphs.

Andrea Lunsford Videos Plagiarism in the Remix Culture 00:05 ["Mark Herrera, Sustainability Major" onscreen] HERRERAR: You've got to give credit where it's due, and I think that you can't just steal people's ideas. 00:13 [ONSCREEN] Plagiarism in the Remix Culture 00:15 LUNSFORD: We do live in a remix culture. 00:17 ["Andrea A. Lunsford, Stanford University" onscreen] LUNSFORD: There's a war going on out there about who's going to have control over this cultural material. Do you want to be a victim of this war, or do you want to get in there and be one of the protagonists or antagonists in this? So I want you to think really carefully about how you are using the work of others. And if you want to pull a clip from a song and you want to mix it in with something you are writing, I want you to think about all of the ethical implications, and I want you to be ready to stand up and say "I'm taking responsibility for this, and I think I should be allowed to do this and here's why." If you can't do that, you'd better not. 01:02 ["Eder Diego, Communication Design Major" onscreen] DIEGO: In the future, I think I could see the paper as being a multimedia thing. When you turn in something, if the professor asks you to do something more than just the paper, you can have your paper and then have some kind of link to a video you might do on that topic.

Terror Nullius (2018) and the Politics of Sample Filmmaking
REVENGE REMIX: TERROR NULLIUS (2018) AND THE POLITICS OF SAMPLE FILMMAKING by Caitlin Lynch A Thesis SubmittEd for the DEgreE of MastEr of Arts to the Film StudiEs ProgrammE at ViCtoria University of WEllington – TE HErenga Waka April 2020 Lynch 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to my supervisors, Dr. Missy Molloy and Dr. Alfio LEotta for their generous guidancE, fEEdbaCk and encouragemEnt. Thank you also to Soda_JErk for their communiCation and support throughout my resEarch. Lynch 3 ABSTRACT TERROR NULLIUS (Soda_JErk, 2018) is an experimEntal samplE film that remixes Australian cinema, tElEvision and news mEdia into a “politiCal revenge fablE” (soda_jerk.co.au). WhilE TERROR NULLIUS is overtly politiCal in tone, understanding its speCifiC mEssages requires unpaCking its form, contEnt and cultural referencEs. This thesis investigatEs the multiplE layers of TERROR NULLIUS’ politiCs, thereby highlighting the politiCal stratEgiEs and capaCitiEs of samplE filmmaking. Employing a historiCal mEthodology, this resEarch contExtualisEs TERROR NULLIUS within a tradition of sampling and other subversive modes of filmmaking, including SoviEt cinema, Surrealism, avant-garde found-footage films, fan remix videos, and Australian archival art films. This comparative analysis highlights how Soda_JErk utilisE and advancE formal stratEgiEs of subversive appropriation, fair usE, dialECtiCal editing and digital compositing to intErrogatE the relationship betwEEn mEdia and culture. It also argues that TERROR NULLIUS Employs postmodern and postColonial approaChes

YA Meets the Real: Fiction and Nonfiction That Take on the World
YA Meets the Real: Fiction and Nonfiction That Take On the World www.hbook.com /2015/09/creating-books/ya-meets-the-real-fiction-and-nonfiction-that-take-on-the-world/ Marina Budhos It began with hot summer nights. It was on hot summer nights — when it was far too hot to go outside, when all I wanted to do was sit under the throttle of a noisy air conditioner — that I got my best reading done as a teenager. There were two kinds of books I was most addicted to: young adult novels such as Paul Zindel’s My Darling, My Hamburger, and those slightly racy, edgy dog-eared adult paperbacks that sat on the shelf in the dining room: Up the Down Staircase, Down These Mean Streets, Black Boy, anything by James Baldwin. I was looking for books that felt urgent, because I was growing up in urgent times — the Vietnam War, school integration battles, assassinations. These conflicts did not feel far away. They felt as if they were right in my home. And they were. Not just through the TV and Life magazine but through books and the nighttime conversations in our living rooms, out on the concrete porches in our garden apartment complex in Queens. The war, for me, was my older brother’s friends marching or getting arrested at a protest or getting in trouble at school for being too radical. Assassination threats breathed right through our nylon curtains, where I could see the windows of my neighbor, Roy Wilkins, the head of the NAACP, whose own life was threatened by radical black separatists.

Appropriation Film”
An unauthorized partial recording of Christian Marclay’s The Clock as accessed on Vimeo, May 21, 2015 . Trespassing Hollywood: Property, Space, and the “Appropriation Film” RICHARD MISEk In the two decades since the first exhibition of Douglas Gordon’s 24 Hour Psycho (1993), “appropriation”—a mainstay of visual art since the mid-twentieth century—has become a common feature of experimental filmmaking and artists’ film and video. Many of the most prominent contemporary practitioners in these fields (including Cory Arcangel, Mark Leckey, Christian Marclay, and Nicolas Provost) have made their names by creating montages, collages, mash-ups, and other transformative works from preexisting moving images. Perhaps the clearest evidence so far of appropriation’s prominence within moving-image arts was the 2012 Turner Prize, in which the works of two of the four finalists (Luke Fowler and Elizabeth Price, who won) were videos constructed mainly from archival televi - sion footage. Of course, this artistic turn is symptomatic of a broader cultural turn that has seen media reuse spread to everyday practice. However artists’ audiovisual appropriations may differ from fan-made YouTube supercuts, the two share a cru - cial technological precondition: the ability to copy and transform source files with - out a significant reduction in quality. 1 Applied to video, Nicolas Bourriaud’s char - acterization of contemporary artistic practice as “postproduction” loops back to its original meaning. It describes not only the creative process of “selecting cultural objects and inserting them into new contexts” but also the technologies through which this process takes place: video-editing, sound-mixing, and visual-effects (i.e., “postproduction”) software.
