The
Take
is a blog created by the Guggenheim
and inspired by YouTube Play. A Biennial
of Creative
Video. With writing by experts,
scholars, and artists from the
worlds of film, video, and Internet
culture, the Take will feature discussions on digital content, the
history
of video art, and online video and its effects on art and
life.
From
July 15 until November 1, the Take will be updated weekly with
brief
reflections on myriad subjects like the history of Internet and video
art,
the distribution of information in an era of instant access to global
audiences,
video sharing before there was YouTube, online identity and vlogging,
how
museums and art institutions treat online video, artists’ uses of
YouTube, the
cat meme on the Internet, and GIFs as artworks, among
many others. Artists will
share their favorite YouTube videos, and
the Guggenheim will feature interviews
with people who have made
important contributions to life online.
Drawing on the global scope of YouTube Play,
it is the Guggenheim’s
hope that the Take will stimulate worldwide
discussion
well beyond our guest bloggers. Visit the Take to voice
your
opinions and share your thoughts by commenting on the posts.
PAM Co-founder Lee Wells has been invited to contribute some thoughts to The Take Blog which will go live in early September. So stay tuned and PARTICIPATE !!!!
