Hey everyone!! Hi. Why dont we put our heads together and do a 5 city on-line art exhibition,

The 5 cities send their pics to their 3 neighboors.
The recipient has to print them on good paper and show them in an appropriate gallery.
We have to all be on line at the same time for the virtual opening
and linked somehow so we can see each other.
We have to have cams to track the show and people at the openings and broadcast it live to all

Can we do it?

I've got a website purveyer who has a very likely gallery in my town
We need cameras, or phones with filming capability
etc etc

And on-line with cams like on MSN Messenger or whatever.

Let's call it SPUNK!!
5 Countries, 5 continents. 25 artists on the leading edge of tomorrow.

So there it is: SPUNK: On the leading edge of Tomorrow

It's mine. I created it. NOW EVERYONE COME PLAY!!!!!

Comment by Francisco Rosado "El Pegador" on 26 February 2008 at 8:22pm: I like the idea.LETS Do it! ..i was thinking on the same lines whe i formed the group International Art Alliances(please join) especially because of my POSTAL ART background. The diffference with postal art is that people will send their works via post office.This kind of works better because the reciepient will just have to book the space and mount it.

Comment by jim mesesenger on 5 March 2008 at 1:54am: Thanks Amina, Stine, Gilles and Francisco for you approval of my idea. Well in my concept we need about 5 different locations with 5 artists each. Maybe we can come on-line in MSNMesseger and chat about it??? I'm at jimjimm3@hotmail.com.

Sorry Art REview, I dont see any method of talking reel time to people here.

Comment by CoExist.org.uk on 20 March 2008 at 10:26pm: wow this sounds pretty amazing, I'd love to get involved! I'm pretty rubbish at techy stuff with cams and comps but I do a spot of work in a photographers gallery who are really into that stuff...

Comment by R. Streitmatter-Tran on 23 June 2008 at 12:47am: Jim, there was a similar project done between six cities, Bangkok being one of them, in 2006. I had posted an entry on my blog about it at that time. If you're ever in Saigon, please let me know, I'd be happy to introduce you to our community here.

The link to that entry is here.
