Creativity Remixed and Attainable

How awesome are the people at creative commons! I hadn't heard for it before this week. It is such an interesting concept. They have broken down the intellectual barriers relating to copyright.

I love the way they have used existing footage from heavily copyrighted disney films to get their point across. But due to the fact that everyone will probably use that in their blogs i went looking for something else. I found this documentary/interview type piece on creative commons....

I was amazed that major artists such as Moby are putting their music online. But surely this makes sense in a global culture society, the more people remix or share this music the wider the orignal content will spread and therefore the further the artists influence will stem. This has to be a good thing for everyone. People can listen to the music that they enjoy and artists are being attributed to the original work.

I hope that this is a launch pad for a number of other artists to follow in Moby's path and use mediums such a s creative commons to share and further promote their music.

I was also amazed by the remixed work based on original concepts... let me be more specific. The alice clip by Pogo is amazing. The original work below is unbelievable...

Works like this truly amaze me, the artists dedication the final solution is astonishing. I would love to be able to do something like this but i really don't think i have the patience for it. I assume work like this is done with vj-ing software, i would love to get into this a bit but not to the extent of the above work. I found this video on the basics of vj-ing, doesn't look that difficult, much like dj-ing however, there is an added visual element as a result of the mixing. The music is a bit hardcore but you get the idea.

I am really interested in the relationship between sound and graphics, so this is definitely something i would be interested in pursuing.
