Appropriation and Remix:
Propaganda is a powerful tool for politicians, corporations, advertisers, cultural institutions and anyone who is looking to manipulate a story, but it is also the starting point for acts of subversion, humor, and creative resistance. Early examples of Video Art often featured the appropriation, deconstruction and manipulation of mass media and culture as a form of social critique. For this project students will find a means of political and imaginative expression through re-editing and re-interpreting material “harvested” from YouTube. Students will come away well-versed in the techniques and tricks used in remix works, including ripping videos, sampling and audio/video cut-ups.
