Facebook app : Art I Love
A completely user-driven app where users upload pics of individual pieces of art as something they identify with / admire… They can give it a rating… Make a comment about it (why they like it)… Tag it with a genre / movement… Input set details about the artwork (media, date, location, current location / gallery, artists / critic’s description or opinion)… Everything will be based on user submissions and ‘voting’… Everything that gets uploaded needs to be saved (text revisions included)… People ‘vote’ for information, or change as required… The majority will rule… But an option to ‘hear’ the less popular info will be given…
As for artwork imagery… Any submissions will be accepted… Scans, photographs, details… ‘Votes’ will decide on the best image to represent the artwork… All other images will be viewable, except in the extreme cases where pranksters have stepped in to upload obviously erroneous imagery…
I’ll flesh this out more later… Just wanted to get it out there for now… But I think it’s another really good way to express yourself within a social network profile… And an excellent way of discovering artists / artwork both new and old…
