The YouTube Thing

A PROJECTION OF VIDEOS SELECTED ON YOUTUBE
Hosted by Phoenix Arts
Saturday 13 October 2007, 3pm to 4pm and repeated Sunday 14 October 1pm - 2pm

WHAT
Videos from YouTube will be screened in the format of a video art presentation. protoPLAY has approached YouTube as a gigantic reservoir for images and information, and the selection process as a linguistic act. Each video forms a sentence fragment, which has a meaning on its own, but also interestingly that belongs to a chain of signifier and signified, to eventually create a new entity. A manifestation of our global community’s unconscious thoughts?
