Everything is a Remix.  Kirby Ferguson, a New York film maker sets out to prove this in a series of Web videos he has produced. This interesting documentary takes a look at popular culture from the perspective that we all "borrow" from one another in our artistic endeavors. He examines music, film and more in this 4 part film project. Below is part 1 from the project. Although there are some discrepancies in Part 1 that he illuminates later on in his blog, this is quite interesting and a awesome project. Make sure you follow Kirby at Twitter to find out when his next film is released.

Remixing is a folk art but the techniques involved — collecting material, combining it, transforming it — are the same ones used at any level of creation. You could even say that everything is a remix.
