ABSTRACT: “Remix and the Rouelles of Media Production” explores  
concepts of remixing not only in content and form, but also in  
process. The aim of the collaboration is to evaluate how the creative  
process functions as a type of remix itself in a period when  
production keeps moving toward a collective approach in all facets of  
culture. The emphasis on video remixing is the result of a  
collaborative rewriting activity among the contributors, who each  
wrote independent paragraphs that went through constant revisions  
once combined as a single text. Video was selected as the subject of  
analysis because members have a common interest in time-based media,  
and also because video remixing is at the forefront of media  
production. One of the group goals is that the text becomes a  
statement of what video could be as a reflective form of the  
networked culture that is developing at the beginning of the twenty- 
first century. The text is in constant revision and readers are  
encouraged to join in its writing.

“Remix and the Rouelles of Media Production” is the result of an  
ongoing collaboration that started in January 2010, when Owen  
Gallagher invited Mette Birk, Mark Cantwell, Martin Leduc, and  
Eduardo Navas to join a Remix Theory and Praxis online seminar. In  
April, Navas invited Tara Zepell to join the group.
