March 24-25th 2011; Oxford Internet Institute (University of
Oxford, UK).
The Remix Cinema workshop is organised by the Oxford Internet
Institute<http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/>,
(University of Oxford <http://www.ox.ac.uk/>, UK) in collaboration
with UNI=
A
Pr=E1cticas y Culturas Digitales <http://www.pcd.unia.es/>
(Universidad
Internacional de Andaluc=EDa <http://www.unia.es/>, ES), and is
funded by t=
he
UK's Art and Humanities Research Council's (AHRC
<http://www.ahrc.ac.uk/>) Beyond
Text <http://www.beyondtext.ac.uk/> programme.
*Website:* www.remixcinema.org | Twitter: @remixcinema
*Abstracts deadline: *January 7, 2011.
Context
In August 2010, the remix movie Star Wars
Uncut<http://www.starwarsuncut.com/>was the first user-generated
production to win an Emmy Award. Other online
platforms such as wreckamovie.com enable online communities to
form for
independent and open source filmmaking, harnessing distributed
forms of
collaborative co-creation rather than relying on traditional
organisational
structures. Cloud-based editing suites have begun appearing:
Stroome.com<http://www.stroome.com/>was launched in April 2010 by
USC
Annenberg with the tag-line =93mix it up.
mash it out=94. Digitalised photos, videos, and sound, easily
accessible
through popular websites, constitute a diverse online repository
of content
that is being used for artistic remix purposes. Recently, the
Electronic
Frontier Foundation won a court
case<http://www.eff.org/press/archives/2010/07/26>giving
exemptions
from the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)
anticircumvention provisions to amateur remix video artists
sharing their
works on e.g. YouTube. VJ=92s and live cinema artists (e.g. Dj
Spooky<http://www.djspooky.com/>,
Eclectic Method <http://www.eclecticmethod.net/> or SOLU<http://
www.solu.or=
g/>)
have permeated multiple cultural settings, ranging from mainstream
contexts
of entertainment to museums and other spaces devoted to the
institutionalisation of art practices.
The examples outlined are just a few fitting under the umbrella
term of
=93Remix Cinema=94, and point to ways in which networked devices
and resour=
ces
are facilitating new artistic audiovisual practices and cultures.
The
concept of 'remix' describes a broad set of social and cultural
practices
centred around the fragmentation and re-ordering of already
existing and ne=
w
content, whether text, sound or images. This 2-day multi-
disciplinary
workshop focuses on these diverse creative practices, particularly
in the
context of the contemporary socio-technical media environment. It
brings
together people interested in understanding and shaping remix
cinema:
doctoral students, established scholars, practising artists, and
anyone els=
e
interested in addressing themes related to questions including:
- How is the contemporary media-scape influencing artistic audio-
visual
creation?
- What can we learn from the changing practices in remix cinema?
- How are new models of economic support (e.g. crowdfunding)
changing
productions of cultural objects?
- What methodological and theoretical challenges arise in
empirical
studies on remix cinema, and how do we overcome these?
Call for presentations & papers
The workshop committee welcomes proposals on any social, critical,
cultural=
,
aesthetic, political, technical, economic or legal aspects of
remix cinema
practices, cultures and works. We particularly welcome
contributions that
report on empirical studies and adopt innovative methodological
approaches.
Each presentation should last for a maximum of 15 minutes.
Participants may
present finished studies or works-in-progress, as the workshop
also serves
as a forum for gaining valuable feedback and exchanging ideas. All
proposal=
s
will be peer reviewed by at least two members of the workshop's
academic
committee (Oxford Internet Institute faculty).
Presenters are invited to submit full papers which will be
eligible for
review and possible inclusion in a subsequent ISBN publication on
remix
cinema.
