Participatory video
Congrats! downStream was accepted to the B.E.A.T exhibition.
I could arrange for a machine to be installed, however, I like the idea of a QR code more. It then situates the work outside of the gallery space, but still included in an exhibition.
I mentioned it being open to public contribution. But I am worried about getting "dick pics" added, but it may be a good exercise for a couple of students to practice being moderators.
Let's talk about potentially making a submission for B.E.A.T. Exhibit. We would then make this the class activity for the participatory video topic in our next 3 classes.
Art Submission for the B.E.A.T. Exhibit Submissions due Monday 9/20/21 Show opens October 30, 2021 (Installation the preceding week)
Video artists - we are seeking works of video art for projections
Digital art - we are seeking a number of still images for projections that will rotate throughout the exhibit. (submit up to 5) Standalone installation and creative technology assistance - We need help building some projects and may have room for a small number of additional installations.

Please watch the trailer for One Day on Earth.
We were going to watch the full feature in class, but due to federal holiday and limited time, we will probably skip it. If you'd like to watch it the instructions are here:
Henry Jenkins is a scholar on participatory culture. This TED talk isn't specific to video, but it will give a good grounding on participatory storytelling.
