Simultart

Here's a refreshing new concept for art - simultaneous art or "simultart" for short.

The basic idea is that an artist creates an original work of art, in multiple sections.

Say three, as shown in the example opposite.

Each section of the work is exhibited in a separate location.

For example, in galleries in London, Paris and New York.

The art is displayed with (multiple sets of) microphones and speakers (physically located in accord with the relative positions of the sections of the work), connected to the other locations via the internet.

Hence viewers at one location are able to verbally express what they see (with little signs encouraging them to do so) to viewers at the other locations and vice versa.

An overall appreciation is achieved by way of this inter-communication, thus becoming an integral part of the work.

Every viewer experience is rich and unique, celebrating both the creativity of the artist and the closely interconnected nature of the contemporary world.
