Super Art + Design Challenge: Video ReMix Mania

This week, the Institute of Play launched a new collaboration with Eyebeam Art and Technology Center, called Super Art + Design Challenge Wednesdays. Presented at Quest to Learn, the program brings Eyebeam fellows and residents together with Q2L students to explore new ideas, techniques and technologies. This week's workshop, YouTube ReMix Mania, featured Eyebeam senior fellow Jeff Crouse, who showed students some of his own projects and introduced some big ideas about contagious media, robotic monkeys, participatory culture and parody. After a quick tour of iMovie and a review of effective editing techniques, Jeff challenged the group to make their own re-creations using their brand new skills and tools. At the end of the afternoon, when the students uploaded their remixes and shared them online, it was clear that they had aced the first design challenge with only seconds to spare!
