In the text of the report the author devotes to the reflection of the work Mimnemesis of the young sound-art representative Pierre-Laurent Cassiére (* 1982, France). The Mimnemesis project is presented by the author at the first year of the International sound and experimental art festival Sound City Days in Košice held in September 2012 in the premises of the Archaeological Museum Lower Gate in Košice.
The article is concerned with the gentle shift within theorizing on cyberculture where the well known and much publicized metaphor of remix has often been employed as a paradigmatic tool to describe the culture of constant reconfiguration as well as (according to Lawrence Lessig's famous statetment) Read/Write culture. Given the popularity of the term throughout the whole decade of 90s and beyond, it is significant that the concept of remix has recently faded out, replaced by the notion of mashup. Reaching out to some practices of the freshly established field of sound art and reflection on the audiality, the article sketches the distance between two terms which, although close in meaning, represent also significant differences when it comes to the strategies of cultural recycling and reconfiguration of already recorded/coded material.
