1st Edition
by Eduardo Navas (Author)
Art, Media Design, and Postproduction: Open Guidelines on Appropriation and Remix
offers a set of open-ended guidelines for art and design studio-based
projects. The creative application of appropriation and remix are now
common across creative disciplines due to the ongoing recycling and
repurposing of content and form. Consequently basic elements which were
previously exclusive to postproduction for editing image, sound and
text, are now part of daily communication. This in turn pushes art and
design to reconsider their creative methodologies.
Author Eduardo
Navas divides his book into three parts: Media Production,
Metaproduction, and Postproduction. The chapters that comprise the three
parts each include an introduction, goals for guidelines of a
studio-based project, which are complemented with an explanation of
relevant history, as well as examples and case studies. Each set of
guidelines is open-ended, enabling the reader to repurpose the
instructional material according to their own methodologies and choice
of medium. Navas also provides historical and theoretical context to
encourage critical reflection on the effects of remix in the production
of art and design.
Art, Media Design, and Postproduction: Open Guidelines on Appropriation and Remix
is the first book of guidelines to take into account the historical,
theoretical, and practical context of remix as an interdisciplinary act.
It is an essential read for those interested in remix studies and
appropriation in art, design and media.
