THIS IS THE REMIX: An overview of remix culture and its struggle to exist within copyright culture from Rachel Whelan on Vimeo.
99.9% of this video is composed of other videos downloaded from YouTube. (Hence the horrible quality, sorry.) This collage of 10+ videos illustrates and illuminates remix culture and its clashes with copyright law. Gregg Gillis (a.k.a. Girl Talk), Lawrence Lessig, Jonathan Lethem, and Corey Doctorow explain the current landscape of remixed art versus outdated copyright laws (read: pre-YouTube). Featuring work by remix artists Girl Talk (Gregg Gillis), Kutiman (Ophir Kutiel), and DJ Danger Mouse (Brian Joseph Burton).
