This does of course assume a certain amount of technical know how, which is why it will only ever be part of a strategy of audience development/engagement strategy but I think an important one. In this instance the low barrier to engagement was really just about the physical opportunity to come to the gallery or not.<br /><br />I also take your point about the cliquey nature of Twitter though I'm not entirely sure I agree for reasons that are way to long to go into here. In any case I'm happy to be at the forefront of something new.

Even for me, who uses these things daily, it took a little bit of working out and patience to get you an image.<br /><br />This sort of project does have the power to spread like wildfire, thanks in part to the inherently cliquey nature of Twitter, but that same cliqueiness (of which I consider myself a part) could also be offputting for newbies. As Twitter gains more of a foothold, this kind of project may well become more viable. Let's look at it this way: at least you were at the forefront of a new arts movement.Myfanwy Nixonhttp://www.twitter.com/mockducknoreply@blogger.com
