A meeting with scholars and youtubers (Luca Vecchi from The Pills and Federico Frusciante) focused on the interactions between audiovisual medias, digital medias, and on the importance of critics' mediation. In which terms, and how much has cinema influenced Youtube?
And how did the Tube affect the structure of contemporary cinematographic narration and series?
How important was the evolution of technology for audiovisual aesthetics? What role did videogamers and gamers' communities play? And how about critics, are they the same as they used to be or did they become more of entertainers?
