am a little tinkering with stats - second attempt. I have one year or two ago tried, but was still not convinced. Today it seems to me better to go. check my stats http://palmaerts.tumblr.com/

I am still looking for the right balance between wordpress stats and tips are more than welcome ...

The End of YouTube?

November 15, 2009 · Posted in Art · 1 Comment

Last week I made a photo animation "a love story. an afternoon of fun with the camera, an evening of fun with iMovie and upload. simple ... I thought.

uploading was insanely long, and suddenly I got the message says the video could be placed ... copyright issues. fuck! Okay, I have the pictures posted on a number of Barry Louis Polisar ... but hey, I'm not an artist! filmke and I just want to send some fifty friends!

actually there are four types of online video users: artists, commentators, reporters and distributors. almost ninety percent of people are just distributors. they use the content of others to create their own profiles ... to burn. only 1 in 10 is actively engaged with video. in here is again the only artist to complete the creation of the video working. this group really thinks about image, form and sound. the others just make a report or opinion. and of course what they want their video brightening up with the right tunes and images.

This summer, many Belgian artists removed from YouTube due to problems between Youtube and Sabam. in the Netherlands even wanted to Buma / Stemra see money from YouTube and bloggers. Fortunately, the negative criticism that can stop ... for now. Creativity and innovation are often so far in search of education, if we again young people in their free time going to be busy with creation ... how do we as a society than ideas survive in the future? ... With smaller online video systems. I made it video'tje now both on Facebook, DailyMotion and Vimeo (Vimeo is really great). Sabam, try to find me there once again! I do not need YouTube to be creative. I really do not need YouTube.

Thus, "a love story. an afternoon of fun with the camera, an evening of fun with iMovie and upload. simple!
and for those who want to see filmke ... that will come later (after the party, I do not feel like a corey delaney)

I spoke a while back after Charles Leadbeater. one of the key advisers to Tony Blair. normally I do not have many nerves for a lecture, but this time I still have to swallow once. what a speaker! if the name you say something, but you do not know what ... you probably have seen the talk at TED 2008

He has a book out "we think". I've just ordered.
We think

to promote the book he has a youtube filmke made. at the beginning of his lecture he admit that he films his son had shown, and after two minutes and it gave Charles a friendly pat gave. nicely done Dad. it's not because you are young media, you're too attractive for them.

Now, it's quite worth filmke ... says this old man.

otagei

May 27, 2009 · Posted in Subculture · Comment

geeks with a fascination for anime singers have a new dance: otagei (combination of otaku and geinou). quite bizarre movements of the artist to give more energy on stage. that makes the audience part of the event.
