Avant Garde Article

This article brings up a lot of good points. Youtube has created a new type of video or film, and a lot of the world is participating in these new types of videos. There are probably hundreds of new genre's created because of Youtube, and stated in the article, all of these genre's are just put into one name, called a Youtube video. Before youtube existed, you would never see a crystal clear HD video of a snail crawling around just for your viewing pleasure, (http://www.vimeo.com/6535098) and this type of video is completely awesome and fun to watch. I completely agree that Youtube has created a new art form, and has opened up a whole new level of film and media. It has also given people a new way to show their own work, which could only be done in film festivals, or could only be shown to a few select friends.
