P010 →REMIX


Throughout history, ideas have been shared, recycled, and transformed in various forms of iteration. The digital age has further challenged notions of copyright and originality with simple copy-paste commands. The proliferation of data has sparked debates on ownership and authorship. This project invites the exploration of reframing, remixing, and iteration as design strategies within the digital and social media landscape. Through practical workshops, participants will create prototypes that challenge and develop ideas from the workshops. The goal is to embrace the power of iteration and creatively navigate the expanding digital world.
It is currently spring, and I ride my bike to school every day. Through context learning, I keep observing every time I come home from school, and I notice that as the seasons change, the bald trees around me grow green shoots. In winter, this road is lifeless and very deserted, with no greenery visible along the whole road. Spring broke this stereotype for me, and I no longer found the path uninteresting. I started to walk to school, and every day the sun shone so brightly that the yards of every house were full of life, and even the grass under the apartment buildings was full of daisies. Based on Philip Stutz's documentary The Way to Healing, I also realized that there are times in my life when I subconsciously see things only from a single perspective. Often, although I remind myself that there are many sides to things, there are things that my brain subconsciously thinks can only be this way all the time. This is why people often get stuck in their own mindset. That's why I chose the daisies, which are everywhere and inconspicuous.

Through the video "The Cut Ups" (1966), William S. Burroughs shows a constant loop of hello's and yes's, a deconstruction of images and reality. The editing is quick, with the image flashing with each hello and yes. The constant shifting of information adds to the tension and rhythm. The constant repetition makes this very impressive to the viewer and allows them to make associations. I have also used this technique in my video clips. In the text plan, I described where the flowers would start to flow in and flash, what text would be added in the right areas, and where to zoom in, regroup, and overlap. For the music, I chose the very musically experimental "Foreword" by Tyler, the creator. The mysterious nature of the music and the variety of rhythmic changes in the different phases, as well as the tightness of the rhythm, helped me a lot in editing. I blend this with my animation by analysing the moods generated by the different stages of the song. The video is based on the images in my booklet, which are morphed and transformed dynamically.
It is very interesting to transform a flat surface into a dynamic video. In this process, I redefine and combine to generate new meaning. The final product infers the storytelling of Bellis perennis. Through the literal decomposition of the definition of the flower and the dismantling of parts of the flower itself, the human figure is reconstructed into a flower. The process of the human form being buried by the flower, dying, and being reborn. In using the video "RE," I explored the cycle of life; the daisies bloom again every spring, so that each death is not a real death but a suggestion of the beginning of a new phase and the hope of rebirth.
