RECONFIGURING
Select some material that you find interesting—a (1) text (article, chapter, or series of excerpts), (2) collection of images, (3) video, or (4) song—then lift it out of its native format or platform and reconfigure it to circulate through a very different format or platform. For example, reconfigure a text to circulate as a video, or reconfigure a video to circulate as a book, etc.
Critically reflect on how this new mode of circulation changes your selected material. Then take this outcome and reconfigure and recirculate it again. For example, take your text-as-video and reconfigure it as a book, or take your video-as-book and reconfigure it as a text.
