Some may think that this is remix while some may argue that it is not. With the ongoing amount of inventions that are constantly being recreated, this one BLEW my mind.
The Fulgurator can be used anywhere around the world if there is another "normal" camera nearby that is being used with a flash. (Normal meaning digital or professional cameras.) It operates through a kind of reactive flash projection that enables an image to be projected on an object exactly at the moment when someone else is photographing it. (Watch the video for controversial examples.)
This has raised many problems as you can see in the video the issues that it has caused, mostly confused among other photographers. The intervention is unobtrusive because it takes only a few milliseconds. Every photo another photographer takes of an object at which the Fulgurator is also aimed is affected by the manipulation. In all, the visual information can be remixed and unnoticed into the images of others.

Do you think that this a type of remix?
This is really interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge photography nerd, and this whole concept blows my mind as well. I'm not sure that it can be considered a type of remix, but more like stealing someone else's work? Perhaps?
Also, that guy has a horribly disgusting beard hahaha...
