I think about 25 people attended - a full house for the space (a very nice space!) and the audience was very warm, attentive, and receptive. I brought 4 hours worth of material to a 2 hour lecture! Ugh! A great discussion followed.<br /><br />The good folks at The Nook made a valiant effort at live-streaming the talk and apparently some people saw it, but unfortunately I don't think a recording was successfully made.<br /><br />Thanks for asking :^)leifpenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232334860061949895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-61467064925250158552011-10-27T07:15:46.315-04:002011-10-27T07:15:46.315-04:00Armand; That's a very astute observation, in ...Armand; That's a very astute observation, in my opinion. One I was planning on exploring in today's post. Yes, I do believe there's a parallel situation today to what happened half a century ago with the emergence of new media technology. TV and photography captured the attention of the public, the dollars spent by advertisers, and the efforts of creative workers and those related to their industries.<br /><br />The process has been cycling through again with the arrival of the personal computer, the Internet and most recently, personal mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.<br /><br />(I agree about that term 'fine arts' as well, by the way. I debated with myself about whether 'gallery painting' might be a better description of what I was referring too. ;^)leifpenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232334860061949895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-35497109808911417502011-10-27T06:40:42.331-04:002011-10-27T06:40:42.331-04:00Leif

It seems there is a current parallel with the internet and gallery art. The last ten years shows a drop in people able to make a living as gallery artists anymore (sorry, I hate the phrase fine art). <br /><br />It seems personal media allows the easy spread of content and people stop wanting to pay for it because of its abundance. You see this in News organizations too that use amateur film in newscasts now and the lack of investigative staff writers in local markets.armandcabrerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772142818316748471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-57375326558248683652011-10-26T15:21:42.955-04:002011-10-26T15:21:42.955-04:00Anonymous, that's the work of Edwin Georgi -- ...Anonymous, that's the work of Edwin Georgi -- and you can see quite a few more pieces by him in my Flickr archives:<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/leifpeng/sets/1661731/with/2616359470/leifpenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232334860061949895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-2989262796595698532011-10-26T14:57:34.313-04:002011-10-26T14:57:34.313-04:00Any idea who did the Phillip Morris ad?

The comics industry sounds like they are having some success through apps like Comixology and Apple's Newstand seems to be moving magazines, too: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2395329,00.asp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
