RESOURCE: Playnation an Online Video Gallery

The Gistter project at the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair was a great success! The site is now filled with tons of great content, browse the content and feel free to leave comments (you can leave "anonymous" comments also if you like). That's what Web 2.0 is all about: inserting yourself and your perspective into the content so it becomes a two-way street and stimulates more discussion and movement across the web.

We shared a tent with an awesome project called Playnation. The folks were with a UMTV partnership called Playgallery, "a gallery for time-based work on tv and on the web" and they set up an animation station which allowed fair goers of all ages to make their own animations right there on the spot. I've embedded one of their clips below:

ANN ARBOR: A2 Art Fair Goes Techie! 7/16-7/19

ArtServe MI has launched GIST, a new arts dialogue project which will allow people to text comments and share impressions of the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair via the web. Get Gisting during the fair – sign up to follow and participate via Twitter (http://twitter.com/gistter) and contribute content (images, videos, text, audio, etc) to the blog (http://gistter.blogspot.com/). ArtServe MI's mobile messengers will walk the site on the hunt for hot activities. Located alongside the New Art New Artists tent, Gist will be onsite each day from 10 am – 6:00 pm, so whether you are a technophobe or technophile there’s no excuse to not get Gisting. Michigan has an abundance of vibrant, diverse, and dynamic arts and cultural communities; Gist is one way to let everyone know about it. For more information, visit http://www.artfair.org/
