Change Art's Face






http://www.valweb.org/Change/Arts_Face.htm

Art is a reflection of the times we live in.
To Change Art's Face, we have to begin somewhere.
Mr. Potato Head is a friendly face and using potatoes is fuel efficient!

We are not limited to potatoes or even other veggies!

There are animated programs one can put the different features of a face into...like building blocks,
nesting together on a page within the html code.
When the page opens, the multiple features will scroll, continually changing.
Going to try this! Collaborate!

Artists from around the world are invited to change art's face in whatever way they can think of. We will spotlight faces and except parts, linking back to approved web sites. Send web links or facial features in jpg format, at 100 dpi and sized appropriately.

A little creative magic together!

Playing with new technology in fuel efficient ways.
Potato power!!
This is a different kind of show you don't have to drive to.

e mail to Carlos! I am here working my fingers quickly..just added a new face for art come in today from New Delhi, India and got another coming from a Brazillian woman (who lives in a town near me!! : )
things are stirring, people thinking. I like that! think together..I like opportunites that are open ended..no deadlines..go on for along time..give people a chance..we all have busy lives..the first time you hear about something you may not get it..too busy with other things a few months pass, and it hits you. I like opportunities without limits..no size limits, no quantity limits surprises..utilizing flickr and Picasa would allow that.
I am thinking of putting up a small shopping cart to click on for handy images to right click, work over and send back..carrots, assorted potatoes, onions..but we are not limited to veggies at all just stating somewhere..and I am drawn to the idea to take advantage of flickr and Picasa2 for the speed and creative freedom it would allow.
Why couldn't we create a venue which is so surprising and delightful..being fed into from around the world. Where the idea itself leads.
In the US there is a web group American Towns and about a year ago they e mailed everybody and it took awhile to figure them out..but it is pretty cool..you select the State and then the town and then there is news, etc but I thought the photos tab was interesting because you could send photos of things related to the town to this particular area of their web site and it is very fast and fun..the way that you do this, is by signing onto flickr and then when you post your pictures to flickr, you tag them to American Towns, and the town you are in and State, and in addition any other town where you want things seen..maybe this would work for PROJECTS "Change Arts Face" as a tag

I think I'm going to post this..send a face Carlos..send a million..we can start to create rivers from all over!
