Has Technology Caught Up With You, or Passed You

News FLASH: I’ve been noting a change that could have an alarming effect on your art. You will see Jana, Annie and I walking around recording what we see and hear what we hear. The uploading of art to Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, Periscope and so many other user friendly applications is just starting to have an effect. Are we showing too much? Is there a saturation? Is this the avenue to a new renaissance of interaction between you and your audience?

Here’s my first Periscope Video

This will be the question we will all be able to answer, maybe sooner than later. I’ve been hearing a very positive effect that artists are selling more and connecting more with the art buyers and enthusiasts easier. I see comments about Jana’s RedRoom that people love to see the diversity and sheer quality of the works on Jana’s walls. I go into galleries and there seems to be a feeling of making a show memorable, not just hanging pictures and stuff. The trend setters are already here and will hopefully bring the world to another awakening far more extensive than has ever been. It’s up to you, you can take this wherever you want to take it. You might live to get everything you ever wanted.
