This video has been viewed just under 4.5 million times as I just checked and it’s definitely one of my favourite videos lately. DJ Earworm does a mashup of the Billboard Top 25 hits of 2009 and I enjoy it immensely.
For those of you who don’t know what a Mashup is, essentially when you have existing audio and visual clips from various sources and combine them to create a new piece of work. Last year, at DOXA, we screened a documentary film called RiP: A remix manifesto.
The film explores issues of copyright in the information age, mashing up the media landscape of the 20th century and shattering the wall between users and producers.
You can view the film’s trailer and description on a previous post on my company blog.
In the meantime, check out this awesome music video below.
