Webcast from MIT: Learning Through Remixing

Webcast from MIT: Learning Through Remixing
This program (93 minutes running time) was recorded on April 28, 2007 and added to the MIT World Video Library 11 days ago. The presentation is part of the MIT5 series.

Direct to Video

From the synopsis:

If you are sufficiently new media literate, you might recognize this panel as a mash-up, combining but not homogenizing five distinctive interpretations of “remixing.” Each contributor has a unique project example to share, but in the end there is some convergence: remixing enables participation, and thus encourages creativity, ownership, and collaboration – the three attributes of contemporary digital culture celebrated in this edition of the annual Media in Transition conference...Some thorny issues surface, including how to explain to living artists why it is legitimate to “steal” their work for remixes, and why it may be especially important for young people of color to undertake the cultural work of determining where meaning is situated.
