LIVE Remix is #4Life: Why we all love the Daily Create and you should too

The Daily Create (TDC) is a creative challenge that is published every day at 5am EST, free and open to all.  For many years the link to the day’s challenge was tweeted to the #DS106 hashtag, nowadays it toots to the same hashtag on Mastodon, where we Daily Creators still participate and riff off each other. Some of us complete the TDC every day, others dip in and out from time to time. There are no prizes, and no sanctions. The only rule is to MAKE ART, DAMMIT!

Join us, a group of regular and irregular Daily Creators, as we chat about all things TDC. In this session we’ll talk about many things. Likely topics will be: 

• Motivations for participation in the daily create
• The echoes involved when one person riffs on someone else or a previous response
• The theory of remix and bricolage that underpins these types of practices
• What an affinity group is, and how this might explain the connections that are built in remix activities
• How the TDC is a gateway into digital literacy, with free and open resources

We will also each introduce some of our favourite challenges from past daily creates to give a flavour of why we keep returning to participate in the TDC.

Finally, we would like to take the opportunity to issue an open invitation to everyone to join us in the open and participate in future daily creative activities. But beware – #DS106 is #4Life!
