20/20 Shopdropping Contest
by AJ West (August 29th, 2007 | 12:56 pm) - No Comments
Here is an interesting twist on grocery shopping. Instead of shoplifting items you may need (we do not advocate becoming a kleptomaniac) you will alter the perishables and place them back on the store’s shelves. It is a new take on installation art because instead of installing the artistic statements on the outside, installation are […]

What sounds would you hear a minute before you captured a photo? Almost every photo I have ever seen is staged. Everyone smiles their practiced smile and freezes to be captured in time. Is this realistic of the actual moment? No. Is the sound recorded before and after the photo real? Yes. This interesting idea […]

This is my fourth day on this site and I am beginning to see artists from other sites showing up here. My sense is the online method of networking one\'s skill, search and marketing ability is just getting heated up. I certainly feel this site is moving in a proper direction with it\'s ease of operation, and apparent intention to actually aide the artist in reaching, \"End Users\", as in collector\'s, buyers, gallery owners, and those with disposable income. My hat is off to Talendatabase.com

The TalentSpeaks and InSpirit database is an invaluable resource for talent, news and up-to-date information. A zeitgeist of the contemporary art and expressionistic industry, I would recommend this site to amateurs and professionals alike.

The Internet is quickly paving the way for artistic revolution, giving new arms for artists to reach art enthusiasts, collectors and appreciators across the globe. I am reminded of the words of musician and activist Jello Biafra when he suggested that we âbecome the mediaâ. Artists of all stripes now have the opportunity to do exactly this with the availability of platforms such as TalentDatabase.com. The art revolution for the Internet age is just beginning, and accessibility is no longer in the hands of an elite few. This is a visionary approach that will create unparalleled exposure for artists and a more eclectic and authentic palette for viewers and lovers of art. This is not just social networking. This is activism for art. I look forward to more!
