Taking place at Leuphana University’s Centre for Digital Cultures, the recent Video Vortex #9 conference aimed to contextualize the immense developments in online video, taking ‘re:assemblies of video’ as the main theme. Of course the INC was present. For a thorough breakdown of the event, be sure to check out the Video Vortex blog, which takes a look at the most prominent themes discussed.
