I’ve noticed what might soon become a trend… at least around these parts. Media companies are selling the service to “curate” video art and still image/painting slideshows in higher end martini & tequila bars. The one that contacted me is featuring just the work of local artists in a given city. They get paid for providing the media and displays, and the artists get some local exposure. 

Seemed reasonable to me, especially since they said it was cool to drop my url throughout the slideshow. I’m going to give them some video too, but only after I see how the slideshows go. 

Will let you know how it works out! 

Here’s the simple slideshow I made in HD for them. No sound, and I just used horizontal images so they’d fill out the screens nicely. :-)

What do you think of this new trend?

I’ve watched you, sealed from within… I’ve weathered unseen tragedy, and begged for my eyes to be taken out… I rejoiced the end of my sight as the juvenile stone was cast into my shattering eyes…Embraced the decay… my frame rotted and loosed at the sockets, and still you insist I go on as your witness…How much must I endure before you finally let me go?“Tavira Porthole” ~ Tavira, Portugal © Skip Hunt ~ http://skiphunt.carbonmade.com

Embraced the decay… my frame rotted and loosed at the sockets, and still you insist I go on as your witness…

How much must I endure before you finally let me go?

This is just about all the regular folks are worth these days… The riff-raff are just disposed of like garbage before they can litter the corporate country club… They’re no longer needed so let’s just toss’em aside… or give them no other alternative than to enlist and be shipped to Iraq to defend fascist interests… Makes no difference what color they are… we’re all just plain ol’ trash to them. Let’s just hope someone has the guts to finally stop them before it’s too late.
