The Guggenheim/YouTube Play Project
 

featured on CNN today; and wow! some very cool stuff here. Juried YouTube videos. Value creativity!

ETA: and . . . some pretty lame stuff, lol!

I think the view counter is a pretty good jury. The art world can suck it afaic.

well creativity is very important to me, so-"afaic"-- I'm in favor of projects that reward and encourage art and originality

I agree, except the art world doesn't reward and encourage art and originality, it rewards that which affirms its money making agenda.

and here I was just enjoying the cool videos and not thinking about heinous "art people" out to make money. oh, the horror!

I'm seeing a lot of talking, introductions, and all-abouts, but precious little art. What am I doing wrong here?

the top stuff on the link is intro clips from the jurors. try the "shortlist" tab

OK, that's more gooder. :smack:


Well, it was OK until Karl Rove threw an ad for PA senator at me.:mad2:

click away! quick!
