YouTube might be an incredible tool when it comes to reaching worldwide audiences but when it comes to creating context it’s performing poor to say the least. Information on basic facts is often lacking and background information, curatorial statements and critics’ interpretations are a rarity. Can YouTube be used as a tool that not only gives visibility but also insight and reflection? Or is it better to move away from this hype dominated environment and establish new platforms that are dedicated to quality? And how to generate traffic to these platforms?
With the Impakt Channel, the Impakt Festival Utrecht is researching these questions and experiments with formats to find the best way to make high quality video content available to viewers around the globe.
