The remixthebook.com site is now live.
The remixthebook.com design team have really been working hard over the last few months putting this magnificent site together and I want to send a personal shout-out to Rick Silva, Erin Costello, Tom Zamir, Tammy Curry, Aaron Angello, and Will Luers for their hard work throughout the production process.
Here is a blurb about the book:
A model of contemporary remixing and a groundbreaking reflection on digital media
+++
remixthebook explores the mashup as a defining cultural activity in the digital age, tracing the art of the remix to previous forms of avant-garde and modernist art through mashups of deftly sampled phrases and ideas. Mark Amerika captures the unique and continually shifting digital moment in which we live and situates the remix as an art form and literary intervention.

"Think of remixthebook as DJ Tool made from rhythms downloaded, ripped, mixed, spliced, diced, and burned into our collective hard drives, then re-uploaded. It's a piece of conceptual hardware that exists somewhere between how we experience information and how information aesthetics has transformed the human condition. It's that deep." — Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky, That Subliminal Kid
