The establishment art world has finally acknowledged online video as an art form. Here are six of the 25 YouTube videos chosen from among more than 23,000 submissions from 91 countries for The
Guggenheim Museum's first-ever exhibit of online video,
YouTube Play: A Biennial of Creative Video. Chief Curator Nancy Spector said the videos represent "the most unique, innovative, groundbreaking video work being created and distributed online during the past two years."
The jury for the Guggenheim-YouTube collaboration included the band Animal Collective, film director
Darren Aronofsky and
photographer
Marilyn Minter. All 25 videos were
projected on the outside of the museum in Manhattan Thursday night. [
OK Go, known for its inventive music videos, performed live.]

I love the birds on a wire composition, so poetic. The Guggenheim does a good job of being artistically relevant.
