Researching

Hi Amanda
I assume you've trawled through the archives of the front page of Rhizome itself? Lots of good video stuff.

There's also DVblog :

http://www.dvblog.org

where we post an art video (or something of interest to those involved with art video) every weekday…

There's an uneven but stimulating book from 2007 about YouTube ( downloadable as a pdf) here:

http://networkcultures.org/wpmu/portal/publications/inc-readers/videovortex/

also worth looking over at PAM:

Hi Michael,

Thanks very much for the links - they look like just what I'm looking for…

Cheers,
Amanda

Thanks for the links Michael and Amanda, this is an enormous, enormous topic! Thanks for bringing it up. Just a quick point: if you're writing this up for a paper, I would be careful to distinguish "Web 2.0" and online video as separate categories. It seems like you're collapsing them into the same thing here.

I second Michael suggestion that you go through Rhizome's blog to find artists working in online video - there are quite a few.

Rhizome's been heavily involved with this area for some time, in terms of Rhizome-specific resources related to online video and web 2.0, I would consult:

Rhizome Artbase (searching for works tagged "video"):
