Lindsay Scoggins’ “Wonderful Mafia” was one of the 25 videos that were selected out of 23,358 submissions to appear in “YouTube Play”, an exhibit at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan.
Every day approximately 2 billion videos are watched on YouTube.
The 25 that were chosen run the gamut between the shocking split-screen video by Josh Bricker – “Post Newtonianism” – that parallels screen footage from the “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare” video game with footage that was shot during the Iraq War and the Gulf War to the more whimsical “Wonderland Mafia” by Lindsay Scoggins that melds Three 6 Mafia hip-hop with images from Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland.”
The videos that were selected for the exhibit were jury picked. Members of the jury included the music group Animal Collective and filmmaker Darren Aronofsky.
The videos will be at the Guggenheim through Sunday. However they can be viewed online at YouTube.com/play.
