“Emily’s Video” compiles the reactions of random volunteers who replied to an online call by Eva and Franco Mattes to watch “the worst video ever.” The original video has been destroyed, only these second hand experiences are proof of its existence.
Following in the footsteps of other reaction videos made for Youtube phenomena like “Two Girls One Cup”, “Emily’s Video” prompts disbelief, fear, anger, disgust, and nervous laughter. Willing participants hide their eyes, lambaste the video’s maker, or simply walk away. While the volunteers find watching difficult, we are rapt, awaiting the next viewer’s response. http://intheuncannyvalley.tumblr.com/post/44060929619/eva-and-franco-mattes-emilys-video?og=1 -- ---> A living - breathing - thriving networked neighbourhood - proud of free culture - claiming it with others ;) Other reviews,articles,interviews http://www.furtherfield.org/reviews.php Furtherfield – online arts community, platforms for creating, viewing, discussing and learning about experimental practices at the intersections of art, technology and social change. http://www.furtherfield.org Furtherfield Gallery – Finsbury Park (London). http://www.furtherfield.org/gallery Netbehaviour - Networked Artists List Community. http://www.netbehaviour.org http://identi.ca/furtherfield http://twitter.com/furtherfield _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
