Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic Guggenheim museum building in NYC became the canvas for stunning projections at last night’s opening of YouTube Play. Crowds gathered both inside and outside the museum to witness the projection mapping that transformed the museum’s famous spiraled facade into a video player, a subway train, mechanical gears, and an abstract art piece. Inside, the projections continued, showcasing the 25 selected videos to be featured in the exhibition. Amid the exhilerating visuals, bands performed in the atrium, including OK GO (no strangers to YouTube), who performed atop ladders while wearing LED-encrusted jackets designed by Creator Moritz Waldenmeyer. You can relive the action from last night on the biennial’s video channel.The exhibition, an inaugural video biennial from Guggenheim and YouTube, features 25 videos culled from more than 23,358 YouTube submissions from 91 different countries. The videos were selected by an illustrious panel of judges including Animal Collective, Darren Arronofsky, Stefan Sagmeister, Ryan McGinley, and Takashi Murakami, among others, as well as Guggenheim’s Deputy Director and Chief Curator, Nancy Spector.Check out the full list of winners and their videos below:Top 25 YouTube Play Videos (alphabetical order) 1.Auspice
