Video Vortex #6 workshop .. our WINNING videos

Last Thursday Led It Up participated in the Video Vortex #6 workshop: Remixing and Re-Use of Open Video Collections. Led by Maarten Brinkerink from Sound & Vision and artsists Emile Zile and José Miguel Biscaya, students and interested creatives used open source material from Open Images to create their own videos. Use of chronological narrative or just randomly mashed up symbolism, everything was possible. Especially interested in the remixing possibilities of the content we are going to use for our project, we got in touch with our creative artists within. Here’s the results:

Throughout the day we got a better understanding of the Open Images database and the ways remixing is possible. A big thanks to NIMk, Maarten and the artists for the inspiring day!
