This issue features a vintage videogame remix by Quebecois digital hyper-star Yohan Gingras, plus original remixed visuals by Montreal artists Carole Guevin and Yan Breuleux. There are also audio reconstructions from Coldcut and turntablist Martin Tétreault, and a special sound commission by Epsilonlab. 

Issue 8.1’s "Reconstruction Zones" (aka remix battle galleries) will update weekly through April and May with new content, including audio and graphic remixes from Canadian artists Mitchel Akiyama, VJ jocool, David Clark, Peter Horvath, and Alberta DJ Shane Breaker.

"Remix is recycling. Remix is about letting go of ownership and sometimes the creation itself," says Martha Ladly, director of HorizonZero. "Remix has been around for a long, long time. In a world where all types of media are endlessly recycled, remix is a logical part of the evolution of digital forms."

And coming soon: on May 15, HorizonZero will launch Remix 8.2, a massive site update featuring VJ montages by Montreal’s K-Project, plus essays by DJ Spooky, Bernard Schütze, and Etienne Côté-Paluck, hip hop poetics by Wayde Compton, Aboriginal hip hop by War Party, and spaced-out remix science from Riga, Latvia.

HorizonZero is produced by the Banff New Media Institute at The Banff Centre in collaboration with the Department of Canadian Heritage.
