IN MEDIA ARTS CENTERS!!!
There's already a 30+ year old movement of artists, activists, and
non-profit administrators who've been working hard to promote
grassroots creation of media arts (video, film, new media, radio, etc).
Videoblogging has introduced a new form of super-cheap distribution,
and new energy to the idea of every-day people making movies -- but
this is not totally new. Not at all. The movement started when video
cameras were invented + became cheaper and cheaper -- or was is when
Super-8 made home movies possible? Most media arts centers were started
using analog video shooting + editing as their medium, and distribution
through community film festival circuits, libraries, cable access
channels and satellite broadcasting (like Deep Dish). These media arts
centers offer classes, equipment and networking opportunties for
people interested in creating video and film. Videoblogging is be a
great thing that media arts centers should know about and use in their
work. And the physical resources and infrastructure (and years of
experience with these issues) that all already in place is something
this videoblogging community should put to use.
Anyone who is interested in media arts centers should start by reading
about NAMAC - the National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture.

national alliance of media arts centers, and they have a database of

teaching about videoblogging and making connections with other people
and organizations -- come to Philly and join us!
