This week, by far the most difficult task for me was thinking of an idea for our fourth hack. For a while, I think I was overthinking what a “remix” truly is. When I think of remix, I think of it being this dramatically different piece of art, when it reality, that is not always the case. I got caught up on this idea that I had to combine a ton of different sources of media with all these complicated editing skills and platforms. This thought processes that I had made me get stuck mentally for a while as I felt like I was not capable of creating something that is truly a “remix.” While being stuck, I went back and review a lot of the remixes we had looked at in class and what the definition of a “remix” really was in the context of this class. In doing this, I found that a “remix” can essentially be anything when it comes to putting together various types of existing media or even just putting a little spin on an already existing form of media. Changing any form of existing media to modify the message or even amplify the message is what constitutes as a “remix.” Looking back at previous readings and examples really helped me realize that I wanted to continue to build upon a message on an already existing media form and enhance that message. To do this, I decided I wanted to hone in on a more serious issue in the world and spread a meaningful message.
