Video is becoming an individual and democratic media within the development of Internet. Beforehand, there was only one person’s voice and opinion, dominating and effecting the public’s opinion, but now, it seems like people are trying to find a way to find a voice which can represent and be a collective of everyone’s voices.
For example, on Obama’s inauguration, the news media’s website not only reported what the newscasters have seen, but also gathered people’s responses and reported them as a collective information. CNN used software called “photosynth” to capture every perspective of the moment as a collective of the inauguration. Photosynth is a Microsoft technology that creates 3D spaces from anyone's 2D photos. You can click and zoom in, and explore around the photos taken from all different people and angles at the moment of the inauguration.

Within arts, interactivity gives people a lot of role as a creator. For example, within Aaron Koblin’s work, “ten thousand cents,” people draw each cell of what they are designated, and the art piece is a whole collective of people’s dedicated drawings.
