Quote 2“…Through their many activities – uploading, viewing, discussing, and collaborating—the YouTube community forms a network of creative practice. In his book on the social worlds of art, music and design, Howard Becker (1982) described this kind of formation as an ‘art world’—’the network of people whose cooperative activity, organised via their joint knowledge of conventional means of doing things, produces the kind of art works that art world is noted for’ (Becker, 1982: x). He argues that the construction and negotiation of aesthetic values and ‘proper’ techniques is not confined to academics or experts, but involves everyone who contributes to the process of cultural production, including audiences. Similarly, on YouTube, aesthetic values, cultural forms, and creative techniques are normalised via the collective activities and judgements of the entire social network—forming an informal and emergent (and by far from homogeneous) ‘art world’ that is specific to YouTube”.
I agree that Youtube is a kind of art. If film is a art, why the movies of youtube cannot be a art?
there is a large numbers of video in Youtube with different theme. (some show how well that people play musical instrustment, some show the social problem and also some talk about a story with a creative manner.,.. YOU NAME IT!) all of these video can show the attitude of the producers as well as the creativities of those men as there are different kinds of maner in which to express the message of their video..!!
In addition, something can stir one's emotion or can meet its own value can be a art.. Thus, Youtube can be a art....
it also is a cooperative activity. the activities within Youtube show interaction between the publishers and the audiences since Youtube is somewhere for people to discuss the issue that is bring by the moive or someone may upload another related movie to response that video.
finally, it shows the judgement of the entire social network and show the social phenomena so it can be consider as a cultural parts... @
