    what fadein11 said. My po-mo theory is coming back to me. I think in this case the term 'remix' is being used incorrectly, remixing is obviously a large part of it but the more general and accurate term would be 'transmogrification'. Meaning changing creations and ideas in full form and content not just in structure like a remix is. Transmogrification I think is specifically what is happening with art, pop-culture and design, remixing is a form of it.

    • But in order to call it that, you need to CHANGE creations in full from and content then... side by side shots of exactly the same thing proves this never happenedMiguex
    • same thing, proves that this never happenedMiguex
    • ...the examples of using sequels and cross overs of movies into video games etc. is called transmogrification according to my post-modern education is my pointDodecahedron
    • its not 'remixing'. The examples side by side are examples of transmogrification as opposed to remixingDodecahedron
    • the music examples are obviously more related remixing and literally are remixing but the general discussion is about that big T wordDodecahedron
    • discussion is about transmogrification. I'm not disagreeing he's just not being specific enough :DDodecahedron
