Dynamic media & Collaborative Remixability

This article is in response to "Remix and Remixability".


First of let me say, Hes Right. Lev's article along with others I've been reading lately really highlight what i think web 2.0 and indeed the future of the Internet is (or at least should be) all about! Initially whilst reading i did begin to worry that this could be the end of original content, an idea which was almost instantly dismissed because while remixing existing material together is all good, its even better when its mashed up with work you've shot or developed. So the next big thought was , where does that leave static designers. In a world where everything is modular & just add ons to something else designers unable to adapt & change with the times will slowly be phased out as there "clients" realise they cant deliver to the new standard. Likewise the current copyright/licencing scheme would fail in this new environment and while this has already been admitted by :some: there are :others: who are going in the entirely wrong direction. personally i embrace it, sure it means things will change but that's half the fun of it, taking what you have and making something new and pushing it out there into the big wide web. for people to see, think about, tag, comment on, and ultimately reuse i  one way or another.

Every things original & most are a copy.
