Stephen Colbert Advocates Techno Remix

Techno remix fans will be glad to know that everyone’s favorite Political Celebrity has put out another call to action to the Remixers of the world!

Back in January, he challenged the remix world to slice and dice his interview with Lawrence Lessig and set it to techno music.   Several great remixes showed up on YouTube and Colbert had a follow-up a couple weeks later…

But now the stakes are raised.  Colbert is officially inviting all editors and remixers to insert themselves into his show here. That’s right.  Hack your way onto national television by actually re-slicing a piece of recorded reality:  The Colbert Report show footage.  Add yourself in and, if they like your style, they’ll air your supposed Colbert Interview.

This is huge!

We talk a lot about how reality is a remix and you have the power to re-envision it as you go.  Here is a definitive example of that power in action.  You want to be on the show.  So you remix yourself into previous interview footage.  If it’s successful, you’re spell lands your face on the actual show!   Magic in action.
Techno Magic.
