“The Age of Remix”

We live in a Remix culture.
-Today, many cultural and lifestyle arenas - music, fashion, design, art, web applications, user created media, food - are governed by remixes, fusions, collages, and mash-ups.


The Web in particular has become a breeding ground for variety of new remix practices.

-A website or application that combines content from more than one source into an integrated experience.

Another type of remix technology popular today is RSS.
- Using RSS reader, an individual can subsribe to such feeds - create her custom mix selected from many millions of feeds available.

Remix practices extend beyond particular technologies and areas of culture.
-Wired magazine devoted its July 2005 issue to the theme Remix Planet. The introduction boldly stated: “From Kill Bill to Gorillaz, from custom Nikes to Pimp My Ride, this is the age of the remix.”
