Blogging Behind the Scenes to bring you the Latest ScoopsRe-mixing ‘RiP, A Remix Manifesto’
Posted by Felix Ruttan on Thursday, July 16, 2009
RiP, A Remix Manifesto’s creator, Brett Gaylor, has been encouraging people to download and remix RiP’s source material. Why? To put the Remixer’s Manifesto to the test!
If you’re not familiar with the manifesto it breaks down like so:
1. Culture always builds on the Past.
2. The Past always tries to control the Future.
3. Our Future is becoming less Free.
4. To Build Free Societies you must limit the control of the Past.
To me, this manifesto points towards an imperative question of our era; Is a culture free to exchange & express ideas, rapidly & with no barriers, more productive?
Only time and an army of lawyers will be able to inform us of what we should think on this issue. And while we wait, others are engaged — Like the guys over at Oilyfilms who had this to say about their RiP related remix:
In the spirit of the Remix Manifesto , I pirated parts of the film onto 16mm Black and White film with my bolex, then hand-processed, tinted and toned it, then composited it digitally. The soundtrack is an old jazz show, recorded from an old reel-to-reel and mangled on the computer.
This piece is something you’ll have to see to believe.
If you wanna get more in depth info on any of the key subjects of the film, or just be cool, check out these dude’s webs: Coolest Lawyer in the world Lawrence Lessig, Creative Commons Championing writer Cory Doctorow, Recontextualization Veteran Girltalk.
With support from the National Film Board of Canada and tons of screenings at indie festivals; RiP, A Remix Manifesto has something for everyone to internalize and reflect upon — Copyright or Copyleft.
