IMMIGRANTS & INCLUSION
There are and there will be always immigrants. But the ones thatmigrate are only a small proportion of the population.
(Saskia Sassen, 1999)
Underused creative capacity of immigrants-‐> design research posibilityto stage participation, create disensus and intervene in the politicalorder (Kashavarz & Mazé, 2013)

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
(remixersreconsider which videos
will be reuse).CC by Stallio in Flickr
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. CC by Stallio in Flickr
The ability to share movies and feel part of the online community is perceived as central motivation for
creating.
