RANDOM THOUGHT OF THE WEEK

The purpose of the IP industry is not creating IP products. The purpose of the industry is in creating systems, services and marketplaces that empower people to build intellectual product and enable conversations on that product. The outcome of these new services is the new product and it now belongs to the people. It's called culture.

Videoblogging, is it art?

I don't consider v-blogging an art, but I try to do it as if it was.
Does this just makes art of it?

Saying videoblogging is not art is like saying the written word is not art.

I don't think such arguments are even relevant. Videoblogging is simply a medium... it's no more art or not art than a pencil. It is what you make it.

I am so confused... what was THAT!?! I've never heard of Better Bad News... perhaps I'll check it out someday... not today, too busy. :P

Casey, thanks for the comment.

Better Bad news is, if I understand correctly a remix with actors acting out interesting comments from slashdot on specific topics.

It's an abstraction, a deconstruction. A form of art.

That's if I understand it correctly. Which I don't think I 100% do.

Don't even know who's behing it.

But, I love it.
