MashupTown's Mashup Conference

# Feb. 13, 2007 at 1:18 a.m. by: Ian (62) Comments

MashUpTown have been executing a very excellent idea - The Conference. It's precisely the sort of thing I would like to see happen in more remix communities and one of the reasons I started derivativeart.org in the first place. So, for comparison, I'm going to try and get some answers to the questions posed in The Conference's themes from derivative artists in other communities. Should offer some insight into the similarities and differences between creative cultures.

Mission Statement Draft

Just some potential ideas as to what the Derivative Art Mission Statement should be.

Derivative aims:

  • To collect thoughts and ideas on derivative works from the creators of such works and others within creative communities - maintaining perspective, avoiding revisionism.
  • To celebrate shining examples of derivative works.
  • To promote better understanding of remix culture and the individual communities, works and creators within it.
  • To record information regarding important works for future reference and enjoyment.
  • To collect reactions to works, to understand their effects both within and beyond their target audiences.
  • To promote debate on the value of derivative works.
  • To promote the production of derivative art as a meaningful and valuable form of expression.
