To remix and assemblage is to do something new. Everything in our society now-a-days is a remix. Movie plots, books, everything has inspiration draw from something else. I do not think remix is a negative thing, though. With the help of old content and new ideas, we can get a better understanding of a subject matter.
Remix and assemblage is essentially using your own thoughts and taking inspiration from other sources. The whole remix and plagiarism thing is quite contradicting. Plagiarism is frowned upon, but if you copy the exact text and cite the author, it is okay? Remixing is seen as plagiarism as well, but people are more open to remix only if it gives a new perspective. From remix and assemblage, we gain knowledge that helps us create new works, but we also lose the ability to 100 percent research and think for ourselves.
Our culture is into remixing old trends. Fashion, music, writing; we just put new spins on them by using new media.
