[+] I like any idea that helps artists make a buck. But if you
sync your computer to a computer artist would that put him
to sleep if you don't use your system for 10 minutes? |

You could watch me for a regular supply of Cadbury's Moments. Or for a higher fee, you could watch someone good... |

Great idea - but why limit it to graphic designers? Let's see what engineers, architects and nuclear physicists are up to as well - I think it would be cathartic to see how much time other 'working' people spend messing about on the internet as well. |

A live feed of photographs uploaded from photographers' laptops to a syndicated photo agency would be interesting too. You could acheive this on a smaller scale by grabbing photographs from the "Most recent uploads" page of an online service like Flickr. |

I'll take real time updates from the bubble chamber of the Large Hadron Collider. |

Or couple *your* desktop to your bosses... |

What would be a real gas would be a collaboration, where
multiple artists work on the same piece, either as one of the
artists or just watching. |

I was thinking more of an abstract fine art piece than
something like designing a web page. I've done a number
of large abstract canvases (5 x 10 ft) in acrylics with as
many as 5 artists. The first rule is nothing is sacred, you
can paint out anyones work and if they bitch they can get
kicked out. There's no need for an eraser with acrylics you
just paint right over it. Part of the fun is watching an
artists face as his
cherished bit in the corner is covered with paint because
it really didn't fit with the rest of the painting. It
teaches you to be spontaneous and react to the painting
rather
than start with a preconceived notion of what it's going to
look like. It's the exact opposite of painting from a
photograph. The result is usually a very unique piece of art
that blends the styles of all the artists involved. It's great
fun even if the piece sucks at the end of it. |

If you are syncing in real time why not sync to a high definition webcam of something purty? |

Is bandwidth some kind of a joke to you people? |

Over here it Costa Plenty. Not giving some valuable 'bakery bits to a screensaver is not rocket surgery! |
