Duration: 55:34

presented at the Library of Congress, June 23rd 2008. This was tons of fun to present. I decided to forgo the PowerPoint and instead worked with students to prepare over 40 minutes of video for the 55 minute presentation.

Dec 17, 2008 - Hm . .. my first comment didn't take: I said this: your vid confirms a suspicion for me; that youtube has radically transformed things overnight, not just the arts (my field of research) but also our social relations. I can't imagine its impact overtime, but I think it will be large, will encompass more than just communications and media, but will change our material social conditions, our social lives and even will impact, as part of the general web-2.0 phenomena, the lives of nations

Jan 6, 2009 - 55 minutes. I thought an introduction to YT might be as long as its average videos and about 3 minutes.
