Commodification and Video as a Medium

I don't want to put full video footage on line because as an artist working with video as (one of) my medium(s), I feel like it needs to be commodified and only seen where, and how I want it to be seen. Working with video as a medium already creates enough of a struggle for artists but, it's important that when we choose to go down that path we are aware of how we want this type of work presented, because youtube vs. a semi-public space (ie gallery) can make a huge difference in how the work is absorbed by viewers and can change the context completely.

That being said, I am working on a new video project.
