Remix Culture and Vidding Linklist
Here are links to all of the source footage from my video.
Siva Vaidhyanathan's speech to Columbia University students as part of their Open Source Culture Lecture series, 'Copyrights and Copywrongs"
Alan Brodsky's interview with Francesca Coppa, "We Are Creators, Too"
Lawrence Lessig's TED talk, "How creativity is being strangled by the law"
Francesca Coppa's 24/7 DIY Video Summit talk, "A Genealogy of Vidding" (which was also written by Laura Shapiro and introduced by Henry Jenkins):
Eric Faden's "A Fair(y) Use Tale", which remixes copyright giant Disney's overprotected content into an educational short film about copyright and fair use:
"Us" by lim.
"Remix Culture vs the DMCA" (Rebecca Tushnet audio). I think this is by the Electronic Frontier Foundation
.
Footage from the documentary "Rip! A Remix Manifesto", which you can download. Parts of it are also available on YouTube.
"Closer" by T. Jonesy and Killa. [Note: This includes some adult material and also implied sexual violence]
"Chad Vader" by Aaron Yonda and Matt Sloan. The clips I used here are taken from "Remix Culture: The Early Years", but you can see more of the actual series at their website.
Francesca Coppa and Henry Jenkins talk about fan vids.
"Shatner of the Mount" by Fall on Your Sword--a remix of an interview Shatner gave for Star Trek V (in which Captain Kirk tries to climb Yosemite).
I also included the songs "Make Your Own Kind of Music" by the Mamas and the Papas and "Fight the Power" by Public Enemy
Vidding History
Oh wow, why did nobody show me this before?!? The OTW's own Francesca Coppa gives a talk on the geneaology of vidding, and the whole thing is available on Youtube, with a kind intro by Henry Jenkins. I've read an article by her with the same title or similar, but it's a whole nother thing to see her talk about it. Wow I love this! SHE IS SO AWESOME.
Dear Google Stalker
Hello, dear stalker.
I didn't really try to hide my identity from you, but... good luck!
Honestly I think this is the creepiest assignment I've ever been assigned--keep a blog that no one will read except one random stranger who will be doing their best to unearth everything about you. I don't know about you, but that's not really what blog culture has been about for me... I've had stalkers before, actual ones, and this whole thing is just scary to me. So, have fun, but I would appreciate if you didn't use your powers for evil--ie., don't turn up on my doorstep or come round my job without introducing yourself or anything. But, you know, do the assignment.
I am a big SF geek, I'm heavily into feminism, queer rights, anti-racism, analyses of media and media fans, vids, copyright, farming, cooking, reading, watching silly shows and tearing them apart, etc. I'm involved in a lot of different things, from working a Community-Supported-Agriculture work trade in the summer and fall to being on the concom of a local feminist science fiction convention. Obviously I also go to school--I'm a special student in the graduate section of LIS201, and I'm trying to get into SLIS to become a librarian in the future. So that's mostly what I wrote about here.
Also, just because you're stalking me doesn't mean you can't leave me comments and introduce yourself, if you're so inclined, or if you totally agree or disagree with any of my posts or want clarification or just want to say hello.
And with that, I'll leave you with my favorite vid of the moment,
Buffy vs. Edward
Thanks!
