Early History of New Media as Disruptive Agent in the Music Industry

We meet in  https://w3w.co/groom.ever.lobby 

Our first few classes have involved a little time travel to see just how significant were some of the shifts facilitated (or caused) by New Media. We have explored artifacts, (including memes and viral videos,) as a way to see how the elements of remediation, meta-generativity, and agency have shaped our 21st-century media landscape.

Students will complete viewing Michael Wesch's lecture "An Anthropological Look at YouTube" and will post their reflections, reactions, and take-aways.

Students will post their reflections, along with lyrics, links, or video in their blogs.


(Cheat: I did one of the songs a couple years ago - you can get the idea of what I'm looking for here.)
