1,000 uploads to YouTube, the aftermath
So, a friend of mine, Patrick, has been performing a art/video project on Youtube for the last year. The project can be viewed here.
The project:
1. Upload a video to YouTube.
2. Download said video from YouTube.
3. Reupload the video you just downloaded.
4. Repeat 999 times.
Turns out the natural deterioration of the re-compression is a lovely thing to watch.
By the 1000th time there is very little left of the original image and sound track. What remains, is a pixelated wash that vaguely suggests movement. Art + Technology once again comes unique and super cool.
This was covered over at Mashable. READ THE FULL ARTICLE.
