Idioteque enters the Youtube experiment
August 22, 2006
Inspired by Radiohead's prophetic song, a group of friends and I collaborated in November of 2001 to create Idioteque, using footage and images from "Here is New York," television ads and archives, and the film Baraka. Just submitted to youtube, and I'm curious to see how the response is, both from viewers and also from youtube and EMI and other copyright holders.
When we had first completed it, I exchanged emails with the Radiohead manager at the time, only to accidentally send a faulty link and lose track of the email address. Since then, I became educated in Fair Use and the possibility of the commons, and am interested to see how the youtube copyright battles shape up, and if Revver's more pro copyright model will win out. Till then, enjoy the video (despite the unfortunate thumbnail image chosen by youtube).
