Videoblog :: Vog 2.0

Wilbert Baan on February 22, 2005 at 12:43 pm, Comments Off
Topics: Interactive Video

A vog respects bandwidth. A vog is not streaming video (this is not the reinvention of television). A vog uses performative video and/or audio. A vog is personal.

A vog is dziga vertov with a mac and a modem. A vog is a video blog where video in a blog must be more than video in a blog.
