I understand now. Yes, I would've loved to offer the possibility to submit works that cross the now dilapidated boundaries between art forms, but due to bandwidth constrictions, such a thing is not currently possible. Perhaps in the future when the site becomes popular, donations could be made for facilitating such a thing. These sorts of sites require massive amount of bandwidth. In this case, the site would not be possible without the Internet Archive. Unfortunately, their help does not extend to flash files and video.

I assure you though that you will find some of the material on this site exciting, given the people that I know will be submitting to it. I'm strongly encouraging people to submit under a lenient creative commons license, so perhaps some AV works will end up being produced because of the site.
