ABSTRACT
The most revealing aspect of the time slip of Fiat Lux Redux/Remix was that the present moment of higher education planning and thinking has so few prospective views at all. Fiat Lux Redux/Remix was mounted in author's own culture, on her own "home turf" both culturally and professionally, which gave her license to creatively generate new material — a liberty she would not normally take as a foreign researcher on African soil. The Fiat Lux Redux/Remix project, which reached thousands of participants, was designed as an intervention. It was intended to productively shift the conversation about the public university's future, to move from a reactive into a creative stance, to reframe from short-term crisis management into a more expansive consideration of long-range horizons extending both into the past and the future. Fiat Lux Redux/Remix invited participants to "perform the score" of both the archive and the institution.
