OMG, I’m so sorry this turned into a blog about advertising there for a few hours. I guess that’s what happens when you sit down to blog and start off with an audio track from “Mad Men.” So today was one of those entirely random, completely unplanned and serendipitous days that are so quintissentially New York and a big part of why I love living here. I decided to tote my battered sketchbook over to Central Park for the entire afternoon, and practice my hand at drawing (mostly architectural renderings), which made me feel enormously productive. And then I wound up quite randomly at the YouTube Play: A Biennial of Creative Video show at the Guggenheim for a couple of hours this evening. It was our goal to reach the widest possible audience, inviting individuals from around the world to submit a video for consideration. While our original goal had been to select 20, the jury was so moved by the quality of work submitted that we decided to honor a final list of 25. We believe the end result is 25 of the most unique and innovative video work to be created and distributed online during the past two years. These 25 videos were projected onto the external façades of the museum, as well as on interior wall spaces, the entire evening. Additionally, the entire evening was live-streamed. It was an awesome, inspiring night, and I’d highly recommend checking out those 25 videos in the link above, and perhaps especially the highlights of the evening posted in video at http://youtube.com/play.
