Michelle Teran spoke at this discussion about her different approach to Youtube. What she had done was arranged a kind of YouTube party in which she took all the videos from the spanish town of Murcia which had been geotagged, she then organised a bus that would take a party around and show them the videos on the bus, goto the locations that they had been filmed in ,discuss them and then meet the creators of these videos. I found this concept of taking something from the web and making it a physical activity very interesting and it has inspired me for my D&AD work. What I plan to do is create a system on the web in which people can organise and create a physical iPlayer Party for themselves and their friends. This would enable people to socially interact without making the iPlayer a social network and it would let them share and discuss the videos that they want to. I hope this approach will help my work stand out in the D&AD because its a different approach to socialising with video on demand than other websites. This would also tie-in with the location based iPhone apps I have been looking at

D&AD : Transmediale Michelle Teran.
Whilst at the Transmediale conference in Berlin we attended a discussion called Art 2.0. This was a very relevant and interesting talk to the subject we are studying. It focused on the web and how people were using it in different ways, as art forms or social experiments such as mechanical turk.
