>Over the past years the moving image has claimed an increasingly
>prominent place on the internet. Thanks to a wide range of
>technologies and web applications it has become possible, not only
>to record and distribute video, but to edit and remix it on-line as
>well. With this world of possibilities within reach of a multitude
>of social actors, the potential of video as a personal means of
>expression has arrived at a totally new dimension. How is this
>potential being used? How do artists and activists react to the
>popularity of YouTube and other 'user-generated-content' websites?
>What is the impact of the availability of massive on-line images and
>sound databases on aesthetics and narrativity? How is Cinema, as an
>art form and experience, influenced by the development of widely
>spreading internet practices? What does YouTube tell us about the
>state of art in visual culture? And how does the participation
>culture of video-sharing and vlogging reach some degree of autonomy
>and diversity, escaping the laws of the mass media and the strong
>grip of media conglomerates?
