Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A total of 125 videos have been shortlisted by New York's Guggenheim Museum for YouTube's first "YouTube Play. A Biennial of Creative Video."
The shortlisted videos were selected from more than 23,000 "YouTube Play" submissions hailing from 91 countries around the globe.
"It's now down to the YouTube Play jury to pick up to 20 videos for a special presentation at the Guggenheim Museum on October 21," announced Google on September 19.
The competition was launched to both inspire the creation of new video works and to showcase the far-ranging possibilities of a screen-based exhibition.
While many submissions have been created by leading artists and online video experts, there have also been outstanding submissions from students, composers, comedy groups, rock bands and video game programmers says Google.
In the coming weeks the star-studded jury (which includes the likes of contemporary artist Takashi Murakami, musician and performance artist Laurie Anderson, filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, artist Douglas Gordon and Guggenheim curator Nancy Spector) will select 20 films from the shortlist for a special presentation due to be held at the Guggenheim Museum on October 21.
The selected videos will then be available for public viewing at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, then the Guggenheim Museums in Bilbao, Berlin and Venice from October 22 to 24.
Art lovers can also log on to Google's YouTube Play channel, http://www.youtube.com/play, to watch the shortlisted films.
