They are redefining our visual culture!

YouTube's Play Biennial video fest is showcasing, once again, innovative, groundbreaking ideas in online video. The awarding and event will be streamed live today at 8am from the Guggenheim Museum.

This project is mindblowing on so many levels!

First, there's the concept of creating the even itself: submissions and views from literally, all over the world. Practically no restrictions in the topics, styles, technology, language, treatment of the videos allows a free flow of ideas and creativity. The partnership with the Guggenheim Museum, where, according to the YouTube channel on the Play Biennial says, video is now exhibited alongside paintings and sculpture. It's a celebration of technology and the unleashing of ideas; an open dam of creativity and expression. Most of all it is one of the signposts of a changing media culture. It's redefining how a generation of human beings are maximizing the tools to learn from each other, collaborate and subvert the superstructures that used to dictate how we were supposed to see the world.

We are changing right before our eyes. And we're putting it all up on YouTube for others to see.

WOW!
