About the Blog

This blog is a representation of my working progress as an Artist and Writing. Everything here is an example of my work and a journey through my working. It acts as a documentation of various projects, ideas and rough experiments, starting from my time at University and beyond.

Research | The uses of found words | On the internet | YouTube

Looking further into how existing words and conversations can be used, especially on YouTube, considering ideas of how to further my own work.

I found other ways that YouTube comments have be reused, unlike Adam Buxton's stand up comedy style, these readings take a different approach. By using the comments as a script they have recreated these conversations into dramas, creating dramatic readings in a film like scenario. 



The next set of videos I looked at is a campaign from a YouTube musician, to send him tweets of which he would on the spot create a song using them. Unedited words, parts working, parts clashing, but creating something that wouldn't have been written without this element of chance. 


A lot of these channels use the instant nature of the internet to gather information, and also the memorable, entertainment value to get audiences to watch their videos, instead of others in a mass of YouTube videos.
