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
This project aims to remix the blues with a hip-hop flair. The history of the blues is similar to what contemporary audiences are experiencing today with hip hop. Both musical forms trace their rhythms back to Africa. Independent audiences and artist alike ensured the forms flourished and endured.
