ABSTRACT
This chapter explores how interactions within time and space in Youth Media Arts Organizations (YMAOs) create remixes. It analyzes products created by participants in Reel Works Teen Filmmaking, an out-of-school YMAO based in Brooklyn, New York. The chapter shares a case study of one participant's journey from being a youth participant creating digital art to becoming the cofounder, teacher, and mentor. It inspects the process of digital art creation over a person's life, the spaces and roles involved with creation change over time and examine the ways in which young people expressed identity through digital film. These combinations of change over space and time resulted in remixes of the digital media content and personal roles in the respective YMAOs. When digital technologies and literate practices are embraced in in-school learning environments, they "allow for a blurring of boundaries between informal and formal learning and harnesses the power of digital technologies for students to reflect on participatory culture they live in.
