You-Tubing - 7th Art 2.0?

I like some of the shows and videos I see on the Net. They are cleaver and express some fairly cool suggestions. Produced with nonexistent funds, ingenuity, no boundaries except the method employed and the vision to get it Produced. Sounds like a excellent definition of an Artist.

OK, but what about that post-your-personal-video/everybody-is-a-Television channel phenomenon? Is that artistic expression, and its author an artist or at the very least one in the producing? It need to have which means and worth proper, since we as the audience react and as a Social Neighborhood give it recognition: for that reason, it really is Art. Mainly because Art is constantly judged by its relative location in culture and we are very considerably a video/podcast/webcast culture, effectively I guess the answer is a Yes, but!

Is this breed of "Video Venture Artists" the genesis of an emerging "21st century Art Nouveau" species defined by: 'throw sufficient virtual stuff at the wall, one thing is bound to stick and perhaps we turn into renowned and make funds'? Will the Net's guarantee of democratization grow to be pure commoditization thanks in portion to this band of laissez-faire proto-capitalists in the generating? Maybe so if Life is to imitate Art and perhaps this debate is just meaningless digital spluttering (I will be the 1st to admit it's, but boy is it fun). Let the Wisdom of the Audience choose and balance the landscape; apart from the worse than could maybe take place is that those artists contribute to enhancing the medium and just possibly lessen the expense of generating content material. Now that is bound to make the struggling Artist and The Suits content.

It as well tends to make me consider about the 7th Art - Film and by deflection Television: that too depends on the point of view of the moment (and these who handle it). Slasher Motion pictures, Realty Shows and the ever pervasive significantly significantly additional - Art? (There are too some real cinematic gems in amongst). Effectively, I guess it really is like Style: "a kind of ugliness so intolerable that we should alter it every six months" as Oscar Wilde mentioned. Thankfully, fashions fade but Fashion is eternal. I got scared there for a moment; no will have to be concerned about the 7th Art.

Hum... It got me pondering; so if I make videos that get traction, I could be producing Art... develop into well-known, make lots of dollars and sell to Google, Apple or any of the other networks in the creating out there! Hey, some thing is doable mainly because the world's mine oyster, which I with video will open. Darn! I could even run for President but I feel it is also late for this election, I am going to should wait for 2016.
