Phone Interview with Vimeo's Jeremy Boxer: Release of Tip Jar and Pay-to-View

VIMEO ANNOUNCES OPEN PLATFORM FOR CREATORS TO EARN MONEY FROM THEIR VIDEOS 

See our above per release telephone interview with Jeremy Boxer taped September 18, 2012. 
Vimeo® announced September 23rd. two new features that enable creators to earn money from their films and videos. Available now, Tip Jar allows viewers to show their appreciation to creators by voluntarily contributing money to support their work. Over the next several months, Vimeo will also roll out an open pay-to-view service that allows creators to sell their work behind a paywall.
Vimeo’s focus on quality and creativity has allowed it to become one of the Web’s top 10 distributors of video online1 with more than 75 million monthly unique visitors2 and one of the world’s largest creative networks with over 13 million registered members. Vimeo’s introduction of Tip Jar and its upcoming pay-to-view service provide a clear path for video creators to build businesses around the films and videos they create.

“Empowering creators to make money from their videos is a logical next step for Vimeo as a service and an opportunity to expand the overall marketplace for video creators and viewers,” said Vimeo CEO Kerry Trainor. “Established creators and emerging talent alike can connect directly with their audiences without the need to conform to industry standards around video format, price or timing releases.” 
Vimeo’s Tip Jar enables video creators to crowdsource funds to support works directly from their viewers. Tip Jar will allow anyone to give tips before, during or after watching a video; Vimeo will pay 85 percent of the gross revenue to the creator. Starting today, Vimeo Plus or Pro members can choose to activate Tip Jar. 
Vimeo’s pay-to-view service will be an open platform for video creators to sell access to their films and videos. Expanding on traditional rental and Video On Demand models, Vimeo’s pay-to-view service gives creators customizable options to sell their films and video content directly to their audiences and provide control over pricing, rental duration distribution location and other settings. Vimeo will begin rolling out its pay-to-view service in beta preview this fall with a curated series of films. Vimeo will make the pay-to-view service available to all Vimeo PRO subscribers in early 2013.
“Creators have asked us for quite some time to help them monetize their work, but we think it needed an approach that put the controls back into the hands of the creators themselves,” said Dae Mellencamp, President of Vimeo. “We designed these tools to allow video creators to be as flexible as possible while providing the ability to financially succeed at various levels of viewership.”

Featured Artist - Kalos&Klio

 Kalos&Klio, Pandora’s Box, 2012


Kalos&Klio
Artistic duet Kalos&Klio is a distinct artistic case. Above all they are an artistic duo, a particularly rare phenomenon in our intensively individualistic era. The artist pair is born in Greece, where they live and work. Kalos&Klio have joined forces since 2005 and operate in a complementary fashion; as they say: “we choose to work as a unit that operates with two hard disks”. The pair considers the process of working as one, a path more intriguing since they come from different artistic trajectories. Kalos studied photography in GR and Klio studied painting and printmaking in the NL and USA and also holds an MFA from the University of Chicago, USA.
Kalos&Klio are interdisciplinary artists working in a variety of media, incorporating installation, digital graphics and design. They are crossing the boundaries of the high and low arts as they choose to think across them. Through their post pop and post psychedelic explorations they seek to open up new avenues in the world of digital art. They are breaking through the boundaries of the arts as they create ensembles which are deliberately emptied of ideology and which, for precisely this reason, articulate a political discourse. They are intentionally artists of the ‘post’ and the ‘intermediate’, their work is based in post pop and post psychedelic art with steampunk characteristics.
The artistic pair is not indifferent to the fragmented world from which their works are inspired and influenced. They scan the virtual cyberspace as well as the (unquestionably material) world of global flea markets, as they look for raw materials for their creations. The final work is then presented as a single artwork print or as an installation that is realized on a variety of printed surfaces: wallpaper, fabric, garments, crockery and tiles, creating environments that are intricate and complicated. Artistically Kalos&Klio operate like ‘cultural nomads’, like Flâneurs wandering casually in the imaginary of the internet screen among diverse cultures, including their own home culture.
Kalos&Klio artworks, in a deeper level, are concerned with what is – in appearances only – a research in vain: the exploration of our lost connection with the memory of the past through reusing existing objects; the memory as historical past or aura, but also the importance of memory as illusion in the internet by means of a mélange of personal narratives, among which one can surf time and space; notions that have in present nothing to do with what we’ve known.

    Minjung Kim: Predestination



    Minjung Kim, Predestination, 2012. Collage with burnt, colored rice paper and black ink. 57 1/8 x 29 7/8 inches
    Minjung Kim: Predestination

    Exhibition Dates: September 29 - October 29, 2012
    Reception for the artist: Saturday, September 29, 5:00-7:30 PM
    Artist’s Talk: Saturday, September 29, 6:30 PM
    Leslie Sacks Fine Art, Brentwood is pleased to present an exhibition of new works by Minjung Kim. This will be the first American showing of Kim’s works since her very successful solo exhibitions at Leslie Sacks Fine Art in 2003 and 2007. The artist will be in attendance at the reception to give a brief talk about her new works.
    This exhibition will feature several pieces that embody the basic elements of ink, paper and fire found in the dense fields of rosettes in her earlier works, but in the new Predestination series she opens up her pieces, using fewer rosettes and scattering them across the picture plane. Strung together by delicate trails of black ink, these rosettes - made of singed, colored and collaged rice paper - create dynamic, asymmetrical constellations of color and form against a stark white background of handmade rice paper.
    Kim’s first solo museum show outside of Korea was held in 2003 at the Modern Art Museum of Ascona, Switzerland. This followed the 2002 publication of Antonio d’Avossa’s Skira monograph, Minjung Kim. Kim’s works are held in the public collections of the Guan Shanyue Art Museum, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, the Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris, France, and the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, England. Kim’s first solo museum exhibition was held in 1991 at the Injae Art Museum, Gwangju, South Korea. Her works have also been exhibited at the Guan Shanyue Art Museum, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome, Rome, Italy, Museum of Modern Art, Ascona, Switzerland, the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, England, Vittoriano Museum Complex, Rome, Italy, and the Fondazione Palazzo Bricherasio, Turin, Italy.  Kim was also a featured artist in the 2009 Venice Biennale.
    Minjung Kim was born in 1962 in Guangju, South Korea and currently lives and works in Italy, France and the United States. Kim holds an MFA from Hong Ik University where she studied both traditional East Asian painting and classical Western art. Beginning in 1991, Kim attended the Brera Academy, Milan, Italy, where she studied the work of modern European artists.
    Leslie Sacks Fine Art is located at 11640 San Vicente Boulevard in the Los Angeles community of Brentwood. Gallery hours are Monday - Saturday, 10 AM - 6 PM. There is ample validated on-site parking. This exhibition along with most of the gallery’s collection can be viewed online at www.lesliesacks.com
