artistic vlogging


I wonder if you could point me to a list of vlogs that make artistic/performative, experimental use of the medium.?


as answered by michael verdi on videoblogging

So on the one hand I really believe that the act of documenting your
life in public, like many are doing, is art in the way that Warhol's
soup cans or Picasso's found object sculptures are art. On the other
hand, since it's impossible to miss these videoblogs, I'll assume
you're not talking about them in this context. So, here are more
places to look that haven't been mentioned in this thread.
I set up a second videoblog just for what I call "videoblog R&D"
http://graymattergravy.com > I also think a lot of posts on my
main videoblog fall into the artistic/performative category. At least
that's the way I think of them. Here are a couple - there are lots more:

I think most of Ryanne's videoblog falls into the "life as art"
category but she also has many posts that could be termed artistic/
performative or experimental.

Also I'd say pretty much everything on these sites fit:

http://gnitseretni.blogspot.com/ >
http://www.alexandersvideos.com/ >
http://nordark.blogs.com/nordark/ >
http://mariopaint.blogspot.com/ >
http://www.nearlyenough.com/ >
http://bottomunion.com/blog/ >
http://www.human-dog.com/lab/ >

These are sites that are different from the examples above but I, at
least, think of them as art:

http://schlomolog.blogspot.com/
http://drinkingwithbob.blogspot.com/
http://www.momentshowing.net/

Damn! That's a hell of a list. Should keep you busy for a while.

Thanks to you and Verdi for the link-love. Have owed you a long letter for a while now and in the interim leave this comment by way of apology. Hope to converse soon!
