Kirby Ferguson

Kirby Ferguson is a Canadian filmmaker, writer, and speaker whose work covers creative works and popular culture; particularly remix culture.

In 2010, Ferguson created the four-part web series Everything is a Remix, which discussed issues of fair use and how creative works derive inspiration from existing works.

[1] The inspiration for the series came from Ferguson seeing the media portray derivative works as taboo.

[2] Defining remix culture, Ferguson states, "It's about whether or not you can recognize chunks of other people’s work.

Ferguson believes that creativity is based upon three elements: "copy, transform, and combine".
