over all the body is a collection of pieces made during the creation of the capstone project “A Generic Minx Stops” (2019), an autoethnography on the process of remix. The pieces were created by remixing two previous MACT student capstone projects: Moria Jean Calder’s “Engaging the community: Communications strategies in municipal sustainability planning in Alberta” (2010) and Evelynn Poirier’s “Participation in the Remix culture: Situating the Remix culture in an academic environment” (2014).

Poet Derek Beaulieu says that how we decide to respond to a text tells us more about own our practice and how we perceive what the text permits (2017). This exhibit is an exploration of remix as response to text and what this process can mean as a form of research, enquiry, and art. What can artful remix add to communications? What happens when the consumers are encouraged to be the creators? Ultimately, can art help us, as Marshall McLuhan suggested, recognize patterns and “to see things before anyone else” (Coupland, 2009)?
