> Welcome to Remix 8.2 and the new, redesigned HorizonZero portal. Our
> gateway
> is easier to access, simpler to navigate, and includes several
> important
> additions. HorizonZero Issues 1-8, and our roundup of news and digital
> culture events can now be accessed from our front page. All issues can

> versions. And we are proud to launch ZeroHorizon, our new interactive
> gallery, built on a growing database of interactive objects including
> images, photos, toys, games, video, and audio. We invite you to visit

> New contributions to Remix 8.2 this month include a rolling wave of
> hip hop
> turntablism featuring Wayde Compton and Jason De Couto; a VJ montage by
> Montreal's K-Project; cold war remixes from the Acoustic Space Lab;
> Aboriginal hip-hop by War Party with commentary from Shane Breaker;
> horizontal photography by M.N. Hutchinson, and scratch video from VJ
> Pillow.
> Plus, essays by Etienne Cote-Paluck, Anne-Marie Boisvert, Bernard
> Schutze,
> Ian Samuels, and Sylvie Parent offer an intelligent cut-up of remix
> culture - from the Quebec
> scene, to commentary on the aesthetics of sampling, to remixes from
> outer
> space.
>
> There's also an opportunity to take part in the mix: With the
> Remixtifier,
> developed by HorizonZero's own Jeff Dawson and Myron Campbell, each
> visitor
> to the site will be able to break apart, collage, and reconstruct a
> personalized front page for the Remix issue.
>
> And the mix is moving forward! 8.2.1 features new art by Mitchell
> Akiyama
> and David Clark, and a slice of remix philosophy from ubersampler Paul
> Miller aka DJ Spooky. Meanwhile, the original Remix feast - all of the
> audio, articles, graphics, and clips from Remix 8.1 - are still
> available
> for sampling.
