The concept of remixing has been around for years but most notably came to prominance during the time of ancient Rome incorporating thae ideas of Ancient Greece. Remixing involves taking something created by somebody else and altering it suit your particular vision. This is most recognisable in the music industry where the advent of computers has allowed artists to easily sample a sound from another artists song.
The relevance of the aticle "Remix and Remixability" by Lev Manovich to project one is that he predicts the direction in which technology and the use of the internet is heading. He believes that all content is remixable from the internet and that it is becoming a trend for creators to provide access to the inner workings of their projects for others to expand upon. the affect this has on project one is the sheer amount of copywrite free content available for redistribution in our own vision.
