<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi All,<div>My group Artists Meeting has been presenting curated youTube videos in a party format. We've found that the most effective videos tend to be *found* footage that is not necessarily professional nor narrative nor viral. We have been using a tool developed by Jeff Crouse at eyebeam here in New York that allows us to create youTube triptychs. We've also done four wall projections at Postmasters gallery. One wall was curated triptychs, two walls had staring contests ( a lone person staring into the camera for as long as possible without blinking) and one wall of single videos requested by the audience. The events depend upon the country and the cultural zeitgeist at any given moment. It's like Regis Debray's idea of the Media Logos. </div><div>here's a link to some of the documentation and playlists-- <a href="http://www.artistsmeeting.org/index.php/Exhibition-Documentation/">http://www.artistsmeeting.org/index.php/Exhibition-Documentation/</a></div><div>The Guggenheim Museum is also teeming up with youTube for a video festival/competition that has a blog about it. -- <a href="http://www.guggenheim.org/new-york/interact/participate/youtube-play">http://www.guggenheim.org/new-york/interact/participate/youtube-play</a></div><div>The parameters for discussion are quite interesting. </div><div>/gh</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Oct 22, 2010, at 1:57 PM, <a href="mailto:videovortex-request@listcultures.org">videovortex-request@listcultures.org</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><br>Message: 1<br>Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2010 13:57:37 -0400<br>From: Jennifer Chan <<a href="mailto:ironicmuse@gmail.com">ironicmuse@gmail.com</a>><br>Subject: Re: <videovortex> Curating the Web (online video, viral<br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>video,<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>net art and its influences)<br>To:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:videovortex@listcultures.org">videovortex@listcultures.org</a><br>Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:2F12049A-E4B6-408E-9652-9CBA3C58180C@gmail.com">2F12049A-E4B6-408E-9652-9CBA3C58180C@gmail.com</a>><br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"<br><br>I had previously sent a reply to this message but don't know if anyone got it. Excuse me if I am repeating myself; I'd love to meet others who love YouTube and would like to compile programs together. I am an emerging video artist, new media curator and researcher currently doing my masters at Syracuse University for Art Video. For a while my practice centered around transgressive and antisocial uses of technology and bringing that to real space/public discourse.</span></blockquote></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div>G.H.
