This is the question you will address in your essay, taking the perspective of arts and culture workers dedicated to imaginative recombinations of arts programming practices. In order to focus your discussion, draw on a particular example of an art form, event, or experience to remix; you may choose from examples already posted to our course Diigo group, discussed in class, or that someone in the group has familiarity/experience with. Given the brevity of this assignment, your essay should clearly:
A. describe the subject of your remix as it exists now; be brief, as this is primarily background information.
B. articulate the elements that will go into your remix, from the ‘original’ as well as other sources/influences/material you might include. This segment is about the “stuff” you’ll remix.
C. discuss the process for remixing you propose from an arts administration point of view, paying particular attention to how programming transforms through your remix. This segment is about the “structure” of your remix.
D. pose questions about or suggestions exploring the ways in which aesthetics might figure into your remixed arts programming. Be sure to fold in elements of class discussions (live or via comments, resources, etc), and keep in mind that this section of your essay can be somewhat exploratory and reflective.
Do draw on writings and other resources that we have examined in class in order to contextualize and illustrate your comments. There is no set number of sources we want you to reference, and since this is an essay it should demonstrate a logical argument toward a goal that represents your group’s collective thinking; it needn’t be laden with outside citations, but should address relevant ones as needed.
* clearly identify/describe programming example = 3pts
* articulate elements of your remix (the ‘source material’)= 5pts
