Videopong.net is a content sharing platform for vjs and video-enthusiast and exists since 2008. currently there are more than 15’000 clips uploaded and more than 4000 active users. Most of those clips are just raw fragments that are used and remixed by visual artists, mostly during their live performance.
We’d like to open up this huge archive to the general public and try to get ratings from different spectators and also show them of what fragments visual shows are created. Interfaced with a simple box with buttons to rate the shown clip on the screen. and another button to switch to the next random selected clip.
