Video Response by Constant Dullaart
Constant Dullaart makes a selection from his archive, and in 30 minutes, 
using visual rhyming, reveals not only the democratization of video as a 
medium, but also of authorship. In short, 30 minutes of videos from 
artists, advertising agencies and lots of amateurs.
