YouTube Aesthetic = Truth + Video + Blog (male side) + Beauty + Video + Blog (female side)

For me, the close-up shot of the video blogger's head and shoulders is the classic YouTube video style. It is the YouTube Aesthetic. Historically, the words Truth and Beauty were important in the question: What is art? They inform the philosophy of aesthetics and art the subject of many debates, even some occurring in post-structuralist times. My piece TRUTH + VIDEO + BLOG was initially meant as a kind of joke about various historical notions of aesthetics.
While sampling "Truth + Video + Blog" and "Beauty + Video + Blog" from YouTube, something interesting occurred. 8/10 Videos tagged with the words TRUTH + VIDEO + BLOG were made by men and 8/10 videos tagged with BEAUTY+ VIDEO + BLOG were made by women. This piece is intended to be about how gender roles are performed on YouTube.
