Description
In 2008, several hundred DIY video
creators, curators, digital culture scholars, and Internet industry
leaders gathered at the University of Southern California for a
summit on the future of video creation and communication. It was the
first event of its kind, at a pivotal moment in the evolution of
media, convening the wide-ranging communities that were just
starting to come together around grassroots, everyday and amateur
video creation. After a successful second summit hosted by the
Hammer Museum in Los Angeles in October 2010, the event makes its
2011 Bay Area debut at the California College of the Arts in San
Francisco with the latest in amateur online video featuring an
extensive line-up of funny, passionate, political and creative DIY
videos culled from diverse genres and highlighting recent trends and
techniques emerging from the DIY scene. Additionally, the event
features panels and workshops related to video making practices, all
open and free to the public (registration required).
The theme of the 2011 show is
“collective action,” as videomakers reach out to others,
creating active communities in dialogue. The program includes
examples from the most prominent forms of amateur video production,
including lip dubs, in which students craft single-shot music video
portraits of their schools; brilliant auto-tune spoofs that
transform quotidian and ridiculous moments captured on tape into
sublime musical events; video remixes that are by turns overtly
political and hilarious; videoblogs documenting everyday life and
collective action around the world; and fan vids, in which fans
reimagine their icons through editing, sound design and remix.
Curated collectively with input from Matteo Bittanti, Francesca
Coppa, Sasha Costanza-Chock, Ryanne Hodson, Jonathan McIntosh, Tim
Park and Mike Wesch, who each made selections from different DIY
genres, the final program includes dozens of examples in a
fast-paced overview.

Join us after the conference for food, drinks and a music
tour-de-force by DJ Kid Kameleon
Kid Kameleon is DJ, promoter,
writer, blogger, historian, archivist, and fan of electronic music.
He’s been that way for 15 years. He’s from North
Carolina, but ended up in New York in the late ’90s and early
’00s. He moved to the Bay Area in 2004, and currently lives in
San Francisco. His performances are wild, eclectic, flamboyant,
humorous, energetic and passionate, and he is a true believer in the
DJ’s unique ability to be a curator and narrator. A
champion of outsider music styles and eclectic mixing techniques
rooted in a core of hip-hop, jungle, and dub, these days the
Kid’s sets take in ever-widening genres from breakcore to
b-more, dubstep to dancehall, club, pop, juke and even rock. A
prolific mixer, writer and journalist, he keeps one ear tuned to the
new and cutting edge and the other to the glories of the past. He
spins heads and feet the physical and digital world over.
The 2011 DIY Video conference, the screening, the workshops
and the reception are
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC (limited
seating, seats will be assigned on a first come, first
served basis).
