YouTube differs from broadcast television because it is accessible all the time. Also, it doesn’t take much to create and upload a video on YouTube, where in broadcast television teams work hard on editing videos to get them just right. YouTube videos can range from music videos to political parodies. The YouTube world is a vast variety of different genres of videos that are not usually seen on regular TV.
Since it is so easy to post a video on YouTube, almost everyone is doing it. Even I have a video on YouTube. Just like the slogan says, Broadcast Yourself. You never know who will come across your video, but once it gets leaked out, you can achieve instant fame. For instance, there are multiple videos that are very popular among college kids. It is as though a YouTube frenzy has broken out. Not a day goes by without someone asking me if I had checked out this new video. The most recent YouTube video crazes are:
Jackie and Debra
Old Greg
My New Haircut
While hanging out in a dorm room or at a party, these videos are quoted and referenced all the time.
The piece of work that really made an impression on me at the Hirshhorn Museum was Gary Hill's Suspension of Disbelief. This was a form of innovative art because he used multiple TV monitors to create one work of art. He used the TV screen to display images of his girlfriend and himself. The story behind the work is very interesting, because even though they were far from each other, they were in a way still together with the help of his piece.
