Upon reflection of this weeks ideas – that the power of editing comes from the connotations that develop from the space in between two images (clips) – I have begun to formulate a soft theory of my own.

There is a common perception of modern art  that everything is a remix; there is no original work or idea, rather just different variations of a common theory (concept).

I believe that due to this fact (that everything is a remix) society has become conditioned to think in uniform ways and expect a certain result from specific stimuli. This, in my opinion, may explain why most audiences are able to grasp the ‘implied’ messages that formulate in the space between two images (cuts).

Further investigation to this idea is required.
