Video Art

Here's an interesting take on video - http://www.post-videoart.com/ that allows video artists to upload their work for we lucky few to view and enjoy. An excellent endeavor, but it has two major issues. First, it requires a Quicktime plug in. This is a problem becaue there are so many different formats out there it seems quite arbitrary to require just one type. At least allow the use of Windows Media Viewer - it would significantly broaden the user base.

Secondly, folks, you gotta get a bigger screening area. Allow the viewer to go full screen mode - you've got some really good stuff there - don't force the viewer to squint, eh?

I watched about ten random selections, and all told, they were very creative, interesting, and in several instances, provocative. Just what art should be.

What other video art sites would you recommend? Let us know!
