Question

[Derick Centeno]

Hi Troy:
Your query appears to be just a bit narrower, which is a good thing.  
But it is still a bit way too wide to distill into a specific answer.

You appear to be searching for information regarding how YDL is used 
and in what environments and for what kind of work.
You appear to be mostly interested in art, perhaps video and other 
related work.  Unfortunately for you, the term "production", means 
different things in different disciplines and has itself become 
meaningless as a comparative reference as different disciplines do not 
define work which is in fact productive, in the same way.

One way around this conundrum is to provide you with a link available 
on the TSS website where you can choose for yourself the area which 
interests you.
If you click upon Edu (Education), a list of institutions will appear, 
a few with associated links.  I'm sure that the art departments of 
those institutions can address your questions more successfully than I.

The closest I personally come to anything regarding art within YDL is 
utilizing Gimp, xine (http://xinehq.de/), some mathematics which 
generate fractals which indirectly are related to art and even music.  
Hopefully you'll get more ideas or answers by contacting those 
institutions.

Best wishes....
