CUNY Week 12 – How I Remember I Was There
cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by Howdy, I’m H. Michael Karshis Do you keep a box of your old ‘stuff’ somewhere? What’s in it? Why did you put it in that box? How often do you look through it and reminisce? I keep quite a bit of stuff tucked under a table…

This past Friday I had a chance to spend some time with artists Ryan Seslow and Jeffrey Allen Price at their show, Energetic Fusion in the York College Art Gallery. The two have collaborated to create not just a show but an event, which involved them creating new work throughout its run as well as…

DS106 The Movie – It’s Pink
This remix assignment – ds106 the movie [remixed] pretty in pink wasn’t created by the generator (I wanted to pick my own!), so there isn’t an official remixed assignment link.

We’ve Got Our Top People On The Job
Norm Wright drew a Where’s Waldo? It remix card on the Messing with the MacGuffin assignment. It’s been quite some time since I’ve Messed with the MacGuffin, so I couldn’t resist a quick Messing with the MacGuffin [remixed]: Where’s Waldo? It. The final shot of Raiders of the Lost Ark is famous for illustrating bureaucracy’s ability…

The art principally created by the bands, then photocopied, and staple-gunned to walls and street posts all over town represented the DIY, mashup sensibility of the punk movement.…

Five Big Fish In Their Little Ponds
Finding five ‘obstructionist bureaucrats’ proved too difficult a task in class yesterday for my second one archetype five films in five seconds video assignment. Also the keeping it to five seconds has been next to impossible. I think Kat’s Five High School Bullies is the best really short one I’ve seen. But I don’t think…

Dollhouse of Nerd Girls

The assignment asks you to create a five second video of one archetype from five different movies cutting together one second of each. The exercise gave everyone the opportunity to experiment with downloading…
