CNN: The most creative Youtube videos ever

I was very impressed after I finished watching, "CNN: The most creative Youtube videos ever." All the clips shown are great examples of what happens when art and technology cross paths. Youtube was searching for the most creative and innovative clips out there and received thousands of submissions from all over the world. One of the videos played was food being tossed up in the air in slow motion. When I saw that I thought about how people used to paint portraits of fruit and that would be the full project. Now, they took something old and combined the use of technology to create something that is still art, but the use of video cameras and computers is what makes it a masterpiece. Another video thats brings old art to the new modern art of technology is the video of John Lennon's voice. A teenager snuck into his hotel room and was able to get an interview with him. This interview of Lennon was transformed into an animated video of his voice almost four decades later. The news reporter even said the interview itself tells us a lot about the time the interview took place (1969). Nowadays, no one would be able to sneak into a celebrity's hotel room. The teenager used the digital world to create a modern and tech savvy clip of a recorded interview that was recorded decades prior. I think this whole video shows us how art will never disappear, it just changes and adapts to the time period we are in.
