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.
