"Constructive Instability" by Thomas Elesaesser:
Elesaesser believes that technological advances in today's society has influenced the people in our society to favor quick, low-budget entertainment over avant-garde works of art.
The Practice of Everyday (Media) Life” by Lev Manovich:
Manovich believes that the transition from professional artists, producing company founded videos, to the public artist, producing more personal, less structured videos, has led to stronger communication within a growing web-based society.
While both these artist discuss the change of the quality of entertainment associated with Youtube, the two have very opposite opinions on the matter. While Elesaesser feels this Youtube movement and the reintegration of avant-garde art into the practice of life has gone too far, causing an artistic slump and change of ideals/goals among the modern artist, Manovich believes that Youtube makes self-expression and communication easier and does not stress the repercussions this could have on art.
