Mark Amerika in Melbourne: remixthecontext

"Remixthecontext: the transmedia artist in network culture" is the title of my upcoming lecture [well, visiting artist presentation] that will take place on Tuesday at the State Library of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia.

From the press release:
The Centre for Creative Arts will hold a free public lecture by La Trobe University’s Principal Research Fellow in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and Professor of Art and Art History at the University of Colorado, Mark Amerika, Tuesday 15 November.

The lecture—Remixthecontext: the transmedia artist in network culture—will cover the potentials of remix practice as they relate to creative writing, audiovisual art, and social media activism.

"Remix artists, many of whom identify with the historical avant-garde, are expanding the forms of remix art to foreground an anti-authoritarian and interdisciplinary approach to both contemporary practice and theory," says Professor Amerika.

Good stuff! Was going to give you my card but you can find my little poetry page by folowing this comment, I am sure. If not :

Was interested in the copyright issues and was a bit dissapointed that this was not followed up further. Would also be interested in your thoughts on Immediatism and Situational Art, since it would seem at first glance that your work is both mediating others and itself is extremely mediated, but this is balanced by "live" VJing, etc.

Will definately be buying (or stealing) your book for Xmas. It would possibly be more appropriate to make it open source and give away the e-version, ala a Creative Commons licence...
