For my remix, I created an interactive hypertext version of Molly McCully Brown’s collection of poems, The Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded, choosing bits of writing from the collection and mapping them onto a map of the Virginia State Colony. I chose this text because it is hauntingly beautiful, and as I read it for my…
For my Remix Project I ended up going with my third idea which was to remix the collection of images I found in the public domain. I created a Wix website to house my images, which I transformed from their original 1898 print versions into interactive photos about modern day stereotypes. The original texts are…
https://view.genial.ly/5ab95488450fab68b96de6e7/50-shades-or-metoo For my project, I remixed three texts: Fifty Shades of Grey, a #MeToo story, and a quiz I found comparing Fifty Shades to a #MeToo experience. I chose these texts to highlight the ways in which Fifty Shades does not show a healthy BDSM relationship, but rather it portrays abuse quite similar to real stories of partner…
Circulation carries multiple meanings within the publishing industry. In my Small Press Publishing & Editing course last semester, I was taught that circulation refers to how widely a text was distributed. One way of measuring this was how many readers were subscribed to or purchased copies of a particular edition of a publication. According to…
The original texts for our remix are lyrics and music for popular songs, put into the same or similar chord progressions, then made into a music video of some sort. This was our first and only idea (which Alex proposed to me before I even started thinking about what to do for this project), but…
My best idea for the project is an interactive map of St. Petersburg, Russia. I would have a map with markers where I could have my own images from my semester there with my own travel notes/bits of nonfiction about experiences and what it’s like. I would have liked to find something like that before…
1st idea: I will create an interactive, hyper-text version of Molly McCully Brown’s collection of poems, choosing bits of writing from the entire collection and mapping them in interesting new ways. If the technology allows, I will create this on a background of a rough-drawn map of the Virginia State Colony, having sections of…
The idea that I’m most interested in pursuing is creating a video where I combine clips from the movie trailers from the 50 Shades of Grey series and break up the clips with text that gives statistics, quotes, and, possibly, personal journal entries on domestic abuse. At the end of the video, I was thinking…
My genre is Beauty Instagrams that I refer to as BeautyGrams. The genre is Instagram accounts that have beauty related topics. In my Wiki, I focus on makeup. However, there are many subgenres within that wide genre. My most interesting finding is how popular Instagram is! It seems silly, but I never really realized the…
While I have not had extensive time to work on my Digital Genre Wiki, I am trying my very best! That said, my genre is the DIY in all its glory. Whether its bath bombs or home improvement, the DIY has taken the internet by storm and needs to be treated as a genre same as…
