Art Video / TV & Internet: Ovation TV to pair MOCA
Very interesting article in LA Times:
A co-production by the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art and Ovation TV will be the first in a series of collaborations between cultural institutions and the cable arts network to create programming intended to raise the profiles of both partners.As part of a long-term initiative to be announced today, the network and MOCA have produced a 10-minute video about MOCA’s upcoming exhibition “Collecting Collections,” opening Feb. 10. The video includes interviews with art collectors, donors and artists and will be part of the exhibition as well as air on Ovation.
The MOCA video will be shown not only during the “Collecting Collections” exhibition in MOCA’s Reading Room but also on the museum’s website. Concurrently with the exhibition, Ovation will make the piece available on the TV network, its website and VOD (video on demand). Ovation TV serves 25 million subscribers nationwide, with satellite carriage on DirecTV (Channel 274) and Dish Network in the Los Angeles area.
open-PLAYER has built-in syndication feature, what could enable galleries and artists to submit their videos (in form of an RSS feed) for potential air over TV networks, in full broadcast quality, but protecting version and copy right integrity.
