Manipulators

MAYBE THE SKY IS REALLY GREEN, 
AND WE’RE JUST COLORBLIND
A YouTube-o-theque curated by Johan Grimonprez and Charlotte Léouzon (2006…)

MANIPULATORS, maybe the sky is relly green and we’re just colorblind, is a TV genre in which the programme is improvised by the curators.  With Podcasts, online TV, mobile phones, video Ipods, blogs and YouTube, the digital age allows an infinite number of images and sounds to travel the world in no time. It is the era of home made productions, which expresses the chaotic nature of the human condition today as well as the cynicism of power. This video compilation in the form of a YouTube-o-Theque, which can be understood both as the joyful affirmation of a superb global disengagement and the catalyst of effervescent criticism, is best described as a platform for temporary disobedience.
