hdadd, youtube doubler, brian kane
I have spent a long time away from this website. I have seen a lot of things, and been a few places, and I don't know how things are going.
However, I just experienced Youtube Doubler for the first time today. Youtube Doubler is the work of artist Brian Kane, and suffice it to say that if it brings me out posting again it's pretty darn cool.
I've seen a lot of stuff before that utilized the simultaneous playback of youtube videos (for example, a lot of the stuff on 53 o's), but it's absolutely great to see it in a form that anyone can use. Here's a combination I've been looking to share with someone for awhile now:http://www.youtubedoubler.com/?video1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fv%2FlUUzFzCHJ84&video2=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fv%2FUoLf01Q1DSc
edit: the youtube preview widget this site is using is eating the links alive. this reformat should work but it doesn't look as nice when I can't hide the url behind a link tag. gross.
Also interesting is HDADD, also by Brian Kane. It builds on the aesthetic used in youtube doubler, with individual movie-playback areas sitting next to each other, heavily edited to become works of sound poetry or music videos. Kenneth Anger editing, except with space separating cuts as well as time. Each presentation is available for download through itunes, so go ahead and check 'em out.
