Apture test part 2
What a newspaper article could look like online
Below I’ve taken some snippets from an article and in a non-profit transformative use of them, used Apture to add things I would have liked Boston.com to help me find. I’m not shilling for Apture, by the way, just testing it for fun.
A different spin
Mashing audio and video, trio plans to remix tonight’s presidential debate
By Joan Anderman, Globe Staff September 26, 2008
Tonight – if the plans stick – tens of millions of voters will be on their sofas staring at the television as Barack Obama and John McCain duke it out in the first debate of the presidential campaign. Here in Boston, several hundred will take in quite a different view at the Institute of Contemporary Art, where the three-man audiovisual performance group Sosolimited will present what they’re calling a “live remix” of the presidential debate.
Don’t be misled by the remix tag. “ReConstitution 2008″ isn’t a dance-floor version of the McCain-Obama conversation, although John Rothenberg, Eric Gunther, and Justin Manor confess with horror that some folks assume they’ll be spinning techno music during the point-counterpoint….
At Sosolimited’s headquarters – a.k.a. Small Design Firm, the Cambridge interactive design group where all three have day jobs…
Sosolimited will stage live remixes of the second and third presidential debates, as well – Oct. 7 at the Art Directors Club in New York and Oct. 15 at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
Asked about the threat of copyright infringement, Manor bemoans the fact that CNN is releasing the broadcast under a Creative Commons license, which allows the footage to be modified or redistributed.
“We’d love a cease-and-desist letter,” Manor says. “We’d love the free publicity.”
