I recently read an article in the NY Times about a collaboration between YouTube and the ultra prestigious Guggenheim Museum. YouTubers are being asked to submit videos that will be considered by a Guggenheim Currartor - that's right no middleman! It's not often that anyone can ask for a few minutes to show some of their pieces, especially within the walls of these museums. So, inspired by the shear notion of presenting a piece to the Guggenheim, I offered a video I created in 2009 about typographic form and function - wax paper typography. The explosion of social networking is so prevalent in our day. Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are just a few that have been consistently revolutionizing our access to each other creating connections to otherwise untouchable opportunities. There are no prizes for first, second, or even third, but it simply allows the possibility of work to be shared along the walls restricted for a prestigious few; anyone can do it.
