IMMIGRANTS & INCLUSION
There are and there will be always immigrants. But the ones that migrate are only a small proportion of the population.
(Saskia Sassen, 1999)
Underused creative capacity of immigrants-> design research posibility to stage participation, create disensus and intervene in the political order (Kashavarz & Mazé, 2013)
Design as an agent of social change
Inclusion through media (in this case video)

REMIX
Remix definition: separating and recombining many types of media
including images, video, literary text, and video game assets.
It is a form of creativity. Is is a culture of “rip and create” Fagerjord (2010)
RIP! A Remix Manifesto
“Our culture no longer bothers to use words like appropriation or borrowing to describe those very activities. Today's audience isn't listening at all - it's
participating. Indeed, audience is as antique a term as record, the one archaically passive, the other archaically physical. The record, not the remix, is the anomaly today.
The remix is the very nature of the digital” (Gibson, 2005).

Remix practices serve as a way to
contextualize records (making them part of new
entities) and decentralize
curation (remixers reconsider which
videos will be reuse).

Remixers are not perceived as
possessive. They want to share their content and have it remixed or appropriated by others
(Dikopoulus et al, 2007). This is a different approach in respect on how archives relate to
their content.

The ability to share movies and feel part of the online community is perceived as
central motivation for creating.
