Description: See how Pitt students use University of Pittsburgh Library & other local archives to express their thoughts on gender roles, pollution, and politics. Remixing is the art of taking existing works and altering, combining, and/or parodying them in a way that draws new meaning. This is a special form of art because the messaging of the final product goes beyond what is in any individual artist's intentions. The artist carefully bends existing media pieces and our understanding of the world into a new message, but doing so does not mean that the original items are forgotten. Rather, they work together to add layers of meaning to the new product.
