This weeks lecture was about how a piece of media originates and then is remediated into different formats. This remediation is done though the work of individuals, within corporations using distribution networks present for the media. It made me reflect on how pieces of media are often seen as single cultural artifacts when in fact they are the result of several generations of remediation within the copyright restrictions of the media, and that they have altered over time with changes in culture and technology.
Probably the change I related to most was that of fan fiction onto today's remix culture and how this new culture collides with copyright restrictions when it is akin to fans remediating the original text just as the copyright owners have done but i would posit that the motives behind these remediations differ from fan love to financial desires as seen in many of the clips shown. And how these remediations over a period of time can indocrinate themselves into general pop culture.
The final clip of Leonard Nimoys ballad of bilbo bagins was disturbing and i will never forgive Helen for exposing me to it. NEVER! So now i am exposing all of you!
