Kuhn Library Special Collections, the UMBC Department of Visual Arts, and the Society for Photographic Education (SPE). Following in the tradition of using archival images in contemporary photography, Special Collections invited attendees of the 2014 SPE National Conference in Baltimore to use images from the Hughes Company Glass Negatives collection to “remix, reinvent, reinterpret, and reimagine” the historical photographs of Baltimore and environs, street scenes, advertisements, businesses, churches, schools, monuments, factories, machinery, and portraits. The artists involved in this project included SPE members, UMBC students and faculty, and the general public. Each participant selected digital images from the Hughes collection to modify. Through their manipulations and alterations the artists were able to express new ideas, explore aspects of the city’s history, experiment with technology, make connections, play with meanings, and create novel works. The images created for this project were published online at hughes-remix.tumblr.com and displayed at various venues during the 2014 SPE National Conference, "Collaborative Exchanges: Photography in Dialogue.” Special Collections promoted the initial project, ingested the remixed digital works into their long-term digital storage, created metadata, uploaded them to their Digital Collections, and publicized the resulting collection.The Hughes Remix project was a collaboration between UMBC's Special Collections and Visual Arts Department to foster creative engagement with archival materials in conjunction with the 2014 Society for Photographic Education annual conference. Images from the Hughes Company Glass Negatives collection were offered for artists to reinvent, reinterpret, and reimagine.46x44 inchesen-USThis item may be protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
