I do feel like on many social networks hiding behind a computer screen makes things a lot easier. Not saying that hiding is a bad thing but more of a helpful one. Like you mentioned the pressure of being in front of an audience and doing some of the same art work that you did may be much more difficult then being in the privacy of your own home and sitting at your computer doing what you did. Overall I like that social networking was added into your piece.

(experience form other times i've drawn around people)<br /><br />indeed that would be somthign to play with, while i'm not hugely keen on being an art artist. taking it to the street and then comparing results would be fun.Clonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07150225697321981839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980162529865976522.post-13228585219254937242012-11-18T15:33:39.486-08:002012-11-18T15:33:39.486-08:00i ended up with quite a variety of people and pers...i ended up with quite a variety of people and personality during the stream, had people coming in from Europe, all across north America and one out of Hawaii.Clonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07150225697321981839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980162529865976522.post-32395748194315778052012-11-17T12:58:37.909-08:002012-11-17T12:58:37.909-08:00Monetary compensation is another thing that doing ...Monetary compensation is another thing that doing your project on the street would provide. A physical object or "gift" is much easier to sell than the digital work that you did for this project. <br /><br />You did mention that one of your viewers is hiring you for other work. Similar business relationships could also be developed by doing this on the street. It'd be interesting to compare your success of finding an employer online to finding employers on the street.Chris Naglikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551025058135649861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980162529865976522.post-89065005723254915612012-11-14T20:56:58.861-08:002012-11-14T20:56:58.861-08:00I haven't heard the specifics of your project,...I haven't heard the specifics of your project, but for me it seems like social media allows you to keep the project organized. I like the idea of working more closely with your subjects, however if you were to do this on the streets, I have a feeling it would become more of a spectacle. The separation is what makes it interesting. The capabilities of social media seem to be never ending and allow you to reach a variety of people from different backgrounds and communities. Your results will differ greatly that way, as opposed to using people from one community. You mentioned that artists are influenced by the audience, and it is more interesting to have diversity that social media, in my opinion, offers.Jennifer Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00074920216122708545noreply@blogger.com
