The Internet

To me, the Internet represents a opportunity to reach people from all over the world. It is a door to the rest of the world. Most people have access the Internet and this enables people from all over the world to reach each other. It virtually joins people separated by physical barriers. I think artists realize this opportunity to broaden their audiences. Most artists have webpages and these webpages provide access to the artist. It gives uses for large-scale marketing and advertising. Websites enable customers to buy from an artist that they may not have physical access to. I think the Internet also provides inspiration from other artists. Communication between artists provides inspiration, as well as simply viewing other works of art. There is also an opportunity to find pieces to put within the artwork. I read about one artist who uses sections from other people's vlogs to put into his own, with permission of course. These sections are mixed together to create a certain narrative element to accompany another element of art. There are so many opportunities for artists on the Internet, it is hard to list them all.
