A fourth music video clip has appeared on
iamamiwhoami, a YouTube channel set up in December, complete with cryptic title and enigmatic imagery. The quality of the music as well as the apparent high budget of the videos has
people guessing as to who's behind it. Is it Poe? The Knife? Goldfrapp? Is it Margaret Berger? Lady Gaga? It's not Christina Aguilera,
is it?

Corey Arcangel is perhaps the internet's most
infamous hack,
masher-upper,
digi/net artist.
His work stands for a
growing culture of artists who
run wildly through
animated GIF landscapes populated with corrupted
data-compressed bunny rabbits and tinny, MIDI
renditions of Savage Garden ballads. As the
Lisson Gallery, London, opens its archives to Arcangel's curatorial eye, could digi/net
art be set to
infect the real,
fleshy world, like a rampant
Conficker Worm? Has
YouTube become the truest reflection of our
anthropological selves? Are we destined to roam the int3erw£bs like the
mythic beasts of yore, hoping,
in time, that
digi art can free us from the confines of this fleshy void?

Agency.com — best known for their work on... well
not much really — recently had the opportunity to bid on the interactive account for
Subway Restaurants. Their idea was to create a pitch
video (embedded youtube) showing them brainstorming for ideas for the pitch video. They posted it online hoping to make it go viral, but the only viral thing about it really was that it used the word
viral in it as many times as possible and tried to show how
hip,
edgy and
cool they are.
Coudal Partners — best known for sponsoring matches of
Photoshop Tennis... although the archives of past matches are currently down...
they spawned legions of copycats, — decided to post their own
Unsolicited Response video (embedded quicktime) which in turn is much funnier than the original.
So what makes a lame attempt at
viral video actually
GO viral? With so much discussion on
advertising forums saying it isn't, all the attention it has been getting is ensuring that it is.

[Telecom] has used confusion as its chief marketing tool
This
quote from New Zealand's Telecom's CEO is used to set up
this mashupof one of their advertisements. The original had kids praising the company; in this version they're saying they've been shafted. Telecom, naturally, has been
trying ever since to get it off the internet - crying "Copyright!" (mirrors in the
comments here)
