The question I examined for this assignment was, “Remix culture is fundamentally at odds with older media institution and practises.” This question was answered through a sound piece which I created and produced using the platform SoundCloud. Moreover, in order to provide further clarity on the subject matter, I reviewed a case study by Michael Serazio (2008), “The Apolitical Irony of Generation Mash-Up: A Cultural Case Study in Popular Music.”
It was determined that remix can represent many different terms; therefore for this documentary I only looked at the mash-up, and its impact on the music industry. In particular, how the music industry personnel reacted to the infringement of their artist’s music. Furthermore, how mash-ups impacted society, and shaped our individual identities.
In the end through my analysis, it was determined that the mash-up is not something new, but has been present for a long time within our society. Technological innovations in the form of information technologies (IT) have made people more cognisant of these types of work.
