A remix is the combination of two or more different texts. They can blend together harmoniously or become a complete and utter mess.
Remixes can come in the form of songs, videos and even memes (as I’m sure we all know).
Making a remix is another way of being a content creator. With the amount of technology available today, anyone can remix anything. Anything in the public sphere is open to re-interpretation (remixed) by anyone who has the ability/technology to do it. This is known as remix culture and is considered its own art form. Although, this raises the question is remix culture its own art form or a platform where originality dies?
To demonstrate what a remix can entail, I have decided to turn Caclfier’s iconic “may all your bacon burn” into some sort of weird dubstep mashup. It is a mess, but nonetheless, enjoy!
