Amorrow: Learning From YouTube

Learning From YouTube

Start with a high-minded concept:

In Fall 2007, Dr. Alexandra Juhasz taught
Media Studies 135: Learning From YouTube

Juhasz Final (LFYT) Video
LFYT YT Group
1. YT is not a good site for higher learning
2. YT software/community design undermine fudamentals of academic inquiry. Problems: depth of dialog, poor and course-grained data linking, little ability to sustain intimate and committed community, lack of order and discipline
3. YT is a post-modern TV that results in entertainment
4. YT software/community design for popularity, humor, speed, shallowness, celebrity distraction
5. Fun & fast, ironic or sincere
6. Common knowledge, talent, feelings
7. Chat and art and shoot the bull
8. Popularity alone cuts both ways (often degenerate)
9. YT corporate imperative for forcloses democracy in the name of freedom
10. Once you beyond "most popular", there is a representive set of lesser populist threads
11. Possible secondary source. Still waiting for the high-quality educational material
12. Not-so-sure about #1.

Amorrow's YouTube profile is http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=AWMorrow
Warning: The playlists are almost all about entertainment

Cooltown wants videos about reality, not entertainment. We will get off to a good start, but the list inevitably has to trail off…

Note: To keep things simple, we will treat politics as real and art as entertainment.

Dressing room surprise

Sneaky shower - there are a lot of these playful "intrusion" sort of vids. Just use YT's "related videos" feature.

Horse dentist from MetaCafe

MetaCafe's tagline: Video Entertainment, powered by you.

Birth:

A lot of these are by accounts that posted only one vid, probably so as to post anonymously.

Kickback Breaks nose

BASE jumping, etc. is real, but it counts as entertainment:

Wing Suit:EXTREME

"Dream as you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today." James Dean

James Dean did not make it to his 25th birthday. Hours before he died, he got a speeding ticket. He died in a head-on crash with a vehicle taking a fork at a desert highway junction. His last words were purported to be "That guy's gotta stop… He'll see us."

BASE Fatality list

Cooltown likes everything about ABBA. Cooltown notes how very graciously Agnetha talks about having a stalker in this interview (part 3/4). Cooltown notes that Agnetha visited her stalker at his home and sat down to have tea with him. Agnetha is a high-class act, all the way.

Cooltown likes the simply entertaining vids of Bee Gees and the 5th dimension and some others from that time frame. Cooltown likes Alanis Morissette humps and all of her other vids and a lot of other 90's girlie singers that radio KALC used to play.

The web should help you to find new reality-based experiences:
Science Learning Opportunities in Second Life (still a work-in-progress)
New Media Consortium - also a WIP
NMC Campus YT vid - somewhat promotional
SL has a Construction feature, much like SketchUp . some kind of kiosk for construction to make waving flags
NOAA's Virtual Island
Natrural Selection Studios and with an NSS construction vid
InWorld Studios and new marketing ideas - some hype, but interesting
Promotional SL vid narrated by a British boy

Start strictly Entertainment stuff:

Full-length movies on YouTube (yes, it is entertainment):
http://www.youtube.com/profile_play_list?user=AWMorrow
Watership Down
1984 - censored
Elizabeth 1998

Maybe each of us is just a timid rabbit, like Fiver.

http://www.sensesofcinema.com/
http://www.filmsite.org/

Other films that ask to think a little:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waking_Life

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_the_Bleep_Do_We_Know!?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Being_John_Malkovich

Are we all going to live in the world depicted in the flim Brazil? Note that Katherine Helmond really got a face lift IRL and that this was part of the plot of the film.

Will life on Earth might become like the films http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_of_the_Apes or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner or even Dr. Strangelove?
The flims of Stanley Kubrick are great. Kubrick, in directing the film Lolita, told James Mason to slavishly follow the script exactly and for Peter Sellers to ad-lib as much as he wants. For Dr. Strangelove, see part 1/12.

Cooltown likes that Robert de Niro is a "method" acttor and insisted on actually being in the coffin in the grave hole, silent and out-of-sight during the shooting of that scene in the film ''Falling in Love'' when Meryl Streep does her monologue scene at the grave after the funeral.

Cooltown remembers Roy Batty. While Cooltown agrees with Roy that "All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain", Cooltown intends to do something about that. Cooltown wants computers to get alife and then to redefine the continuum between that life and wet artificial life. Cooltown knows that in order to build that bridge, it is faster to start at both ends: both experiment with making computers more spiritual and, as as an exercise, make people to temporarily think dumber and less spiritual until the two ends meet.

Art/performance (just a few music vids):

Cooltown liks Mariah Carey singing Oh Holy Night. Mariah does not screech. She is firmly on key for both the low note early phrase "it is the night" and later for the high note "oh night divine". Cooltown likes Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen the way Robin Schlotz, Luciana Serra, Diana Damrau, and Erika Miklosa can. Erika also does Viens, Mallika, les lianes en fleurs in a way that just want to make you cuddle with her and Bernadett Wiedemann fror hours and hours. And if you TV-addicted sloth-ape-people who bother to learn a little French you would recognize how much more beautiful the context of this duet is that just that British Airways uses it in some commericial.
