Yesterday I came across this interesting New York Times article: Pixels at an Exhibition
It's gotten me to think a bit about youtube videos as an art form in their own right, rather than as a depository for other art (clips from TV, music videos, etc). My own mashups use slideshows in a way that I borrowed from common youtube practice, just as one example of youtube having its own forms. After reading this article, I spent a lot of time on youtube looking for mashups other people have made, and I got excited about the idea of youtube videos not being a way to view something else (a music video or a mashup) but being their own thing. I will work on a post about the videos I found this afternoon.
