Making the Familiar Unfamiliar: The Importance of Physical Place in the Vlogosphere
Saturday at 3pm — Curated by Patricia Lange
The prediction that human bodies would exist merely as meat while minds connected in cyberspace has not come true. Physical places and embodied encounters within them remain inseperable parts of human experience. The vlogosphere is filled with video blogs that intimately explore physical places in fascinating ways. In this session, we will see how video bloggers turn familiar places such as a hallway, an elevator, an open field, an airport restaurant, a bus, and a kitchen into strange, beautiful, and sometimes frightening places that influence a video blogger’s life in subtle yet significant ways. Through visual engagements with light, sound, temperature, people, animals, objects, and other characteristics, the video bloggers in this session help us understand how important sense of place is to the human experience both in the vlogosphere and offline.

Outside and Unknown: From the Fringes of the Vlogosphere
Saturday at 1pm — Curated by Jennifer Proctor
It’s a celebration of international vloggers who push the limits of what the moving image can mean, especially in an online context. They treat video as poetry, painting, theater, soapbox, and laboratory. They fly under the radar, create for small audiences, and use the web as a venue for experimentation. You may not recognize all of their names, but they’re producing some of the most groundbreaking work on the web, fusing videoblogging, filmmaking, and artistic practice.
