As part of NBPC's New Media Institute 2007, 26 producers gathered in Jackson, Mississippi to create new media pieces documenting blues culture in the Mississippi Delta. Their final products are as varied as their talents; video and audio pieces, interactive locative media geo tags, even website architectures. NMI 2007 was funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).

Remixing The Blues

The final outcome of these pieces will be an interactive musician's profile space which will introduce new generations to the legacy of the Blues and history of Mississippi through musician and community profiles.
