Additional Examples of Art and Artists in the Digital Age

Issa

Issa is an interesting person. In theory, this concept for music distribution would work, but in reality, if every artist did this, I feel like it wouldn’t work. I definitely have bands who I buy every album, but there are also bands whose songs I find alright, so I download them for free.

Atomic Tom

Instruments don’t make the musician, but they definitely help. While I like the way that Atomic Tom has taken their misfortune and worked around it, I feel like they need to have that background on traditional instruments for it to work. If someone learns how to only play on an iPhone, I feel like it defeats the purpose.

The Story of Cosmetics

This is an interesting way in which to distribute lectures and make them interesting. Combining live action and animation helps to add a visual element to the lecture, which makes it much more interesting.

Wikipedia Remix

Oh Wikipedia, always helpful. Partially, I disagree with the reasons songs are remixed for. Sure, they're remixed to be given a second chance on the radio, but the real reason most of them are remixed are to give it a new identity as a song.

Fair Use

Like I've said before, copyrights are important for giving credit where credit is due.

Bound By Law

A unique way to visually show information about copyrights. Very useful and informative.

American Lawbreaking

Once again, showing the importance of copyrights.

Pogo

Pogo has been one of my favorite artists for awhile. Its interesting how he cannot release his Pirates of the Caribbean remix due to something like a copyright. In this case, I feel like it would give attention to movies that people have previously forgot about. For me, I went back and rewatched some of my old Disney VHS’ when I listened to him for the first time.
