Remix Culture

“We are remixing culture, or culture is remixing us?” once asked Nigel Tomm, today’s leading artist/writer in literary remixing. What do you think?

I think remix culture can be best described by the following example: we have Shakespeare’s Hamlet, we have Nigel Tomm’s Shakespeare’s Hamlet Remixed and we have a visual remix of  Nigel Tomm’s Shakespeare’s Hamlet Remixed in Youtube. Cool, isn’t it?

“We now inhabit a ‘remix culture’, a culture which is dominated by amateur creators – creators who are no longer willing to be passive recipients of content,” recently wrote Australian lawyers from the Queensland University of Technology in their report ‘Mashups, Remixes and Copyright Law’.
