Brigitte Vézina Ony Anukem

Creative Commons’ Open CultureRemix Art Contest#CCSharesCulture is open until 30 April 2022. So there’s still plenty of time toremix existing art并以“爱的文化?”分享文化!”

In the run up to the submission deadline, we are introducing our panel of experts, who will judge the entries based on their conformity with the theme, expression of the theme, originality, creativity, quality, artistic expression, personal expression, visual appeal, and overall impact. Get to know one of our six judges,karen darricades, in this Q&A blog post.


Who are you?

我是一名多学科艺术家、媒体教育家,也是加拿大知识共享组织的艺术和文化负责人。卡塔尔vs葡萄牙分析我与其他艺术家共同主持现场活动,这些艺术家使用cc授权的作品和名为Watch Me Work的开放软件:与数字艺术家和创作者一起看屏幕后面的东西。《观看我的工作》将于5月再次直播新剧集。我生活的主要目的是支持年轻的创意工作者获得他们创作拼贴、摄影和各种新媒体作品所需的材料。在不开研讨会的时候,我用增强现实技术让数字东西跳出屏幕,进入现实世界。

What does “better sharing” of culture mean to you?

对我来说,更好的分享意味着建立一种文化,在这种文化中,创意人员可以自由地借鉴和构建意义,同时要清楚地了解这些作品来自哪里,以及创造这些作品的人希望自己的贡献得到怎样的认可。一种分享的文化在最大程度上承认了最初的艺术过程中的劳动,但也可以自由地用它创造一些新的东西。

How can open access to cultural heritage stimulate creativity?

All art is art criticism, a reflection of and addition to the ideas and representations that came before, and implies an understanding that once we create something, it takes on a life of its own. That’s how cultural heritage remains relevant, vibrant and iterative parts of the human experience.

What advice would you give to folks who are in two minds about entering CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?

Please, don’t hesitate! Remixing is often messy, undecided and unfinished, please share your musings with us.

What sparked your passion for “open” culture?

The need to make something from something due to an inability to make something from nothing. I look at a blank page and see nothing. When I look at something, be it a famous work of art, flier stapled on a lamppost or a design element out of context, that’s when I get curious and motivated to make. I have always cut and pasted things of all kinds into new Frankenstein-like hybrids, and am so thankful to live in a time when more materials are at my fingertips than ever before, from peers to pros and historical works, all available to use or rework, it’s fantastic!

What excites you about being a judge for CC’s Open Culture Remix Art Contest?

Everything! So excited to see the things folks will submit and their interpretations of the call. I work with young people using collage concepts and remixing content in my workshops, and frankly, it never gets tiring.

CONTEST NOW CLOSED. Thank you so much to everyone who participated. We will announce the shortlisted entries and winners in May 2022.
