    Weekly Summary of 13 and 14

    by
    This week we learned about remixes and mashups. It was difficult to distinguish the two at times. It seemed like mashups were combining multiple things without changing them too much and a remix was a deeper transformation of the original pieces. After doing work with mashups I am starting to believe that remixes are the […]

    Remixes vs Mashups

    by
    Since I was home for Thanksgiving Break I decided that it would be a good idea to talk to my sister about remixes and mashups. We both felt pretty unclear on what remixes were going into it. We each thought that we knew what it was but then we check out some videos of remixes […]

    Today we had to write about what the thinker was thinking, and it seemed to be headed in a Batman direction so I just rolled with that. After the crippling defeat at the hands of Batman, the Thinker had to be quick with his plan, not too quick of course. He sat and thought it […]
