AOL actively empowers the creative community by commissioning artists from around the world to create the visual identity of the AOL brand. Over 90 painters, illustrators, videographers, sculptors, photographers and multi-media artists have worked with AOL and become members of the AOL Artists community.
With the spirit of creativity in mind, AOL is on the hunt for the next top talent in motion graphics! Through a partnership with Behance, AOL will run a month long competition on the Behance network, tapping into the company’s incredible database of creatives. From March 28 to April 28, the competition will run across Behance’s digital platform, encouraging Behance users to submit past work to showcase their expertise in the motion graphics field. Five finalists will be selected, who will then be given the opportunity to present their creative vision for the motion works, and if then selected, will create AOL’s next motion canvases.

Supercut.org

In May 2011, AOL presented the Seven on Seven conference at the New Museum, organized by Rhizome. Seven artists and seven technologists spent the day prior to the conference at AOL’s New York office where they were given 24 hours to create something spectacular.

Writer and technologist, Andy Baio, collaborated with ground-breaking artist Michael Bell-Smith and created Supercut.org. Just recently, the site has transformed and expanded into a gigantic database of aggregated supercut videos from around the web. Check it out here!
