He mainly expressed interest in the YTPMVers known as Kurkop, MilkshakemanCP, and shroomhead1. He also noted that basic things in [[Youtube Poop]] would have to change if [[Youtube Poop]] was to ever be anything near "mainstream." The video was not discovered until a few months after uploading, but in the months that followed, David Bailey received a lot attention from the [[Youtube Poop]] community. In November of 2010 he posted a proposal for the Computers & Writing Conference in Ann Arbor, Michigan to create a writing piece about [[YouTube Poop]]. The proposal stated the following: |
"A growing internet subculture of remix artists currently thrives on multiple forums and channels within Youtube. This group may at first seem to be a bit juvenile, but upon contacting a few of their more prominent members, I have found them to be thoughtful, intelligent and most importantly passionate about the raw art they create by remixing and editing existing video footage. This group debates the boundaries and divisions between the many genres remix art embodies. These genres include musical compositions, intricate narratives created through sentence splicing, and abstract visual expression. This group bears a striking resemblance to the remix artists discussed in Lawrence Lessig's book remix, and their potential to shake up societal and artistic norms is staggering. Careful study of this group will prove difficult due to the many copyright issues plaguing their community, but they have already hatched methods to circumvent such laws, namely the creation of original footage among the community for remix purposes. This is the group fighting the copyright war, and along the way they develop compositional forms while growing and expanding as a true international community. We as academics have a great deal to learn from this group and should work to arm them with the legal and intellectual tools to expand and grow their young art form." | "A growing internet subculture of remix artists currently thrives on multiple forums and channels within Youtube.
