<videovortex> Birgit Richard: Curating YouTube Clips

[Geert Lovink]

> The Video-Sharing website YouTube demonstrates most clearly how
> smoothly communication with images functions and that sometimes even 
> art
> is created in the process. All these newly emerging types of clips,
> however, serve one single goal: to communicate with others, to share
> with others, and catch a glimpse of other people*s lives.
> In her presentation Birgit Richard, professor for New Media in
> Frankfurt am Main, introduces a typology of the material found on
> YouTube, based on her own academic survey, and takes a tour through
> different types of clips such as EgoClips, Skillz Clips, Art Clips,
> Response/Battle Clips, FanClips, Viral Clips...
>
> The presentation is part of the programme accompanying the exhibition
> MY OWN PRIVATE REALITY, which is on show until Sunday, 1 July 2007.
