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?

“For this show I wanted to play around a bit and experiment with abstracts. I was curious whether or not the nature of composed abstract photographic images consisting of mostly color and texture… would still hold up when sliced and dissected into individual pieces. 

I found that they did in fact hold up quite well! And in some cases, portions were even stronger than the whole. 

I then took the pieces and slowly dissolved them into one another to see if they held up still as a slowly moving piece set to music.”
