@welshpixie it also reminds me of that time I won a box of #Talens Panda oil pastels at the #Kunstbende art competition when I was a teenager.
When I came home and checked them out, I discovered it wasn't a set of different colours, no, it was a box full of the same shade of sea-green. xD

I got so disappointed, I don't think I've ever even tried using one of them. ;)

@zatnosk Roehrs & Boetsch seems to already be experimenting with this

I think it's definitely something that could work, especially with curated exhibitions around a certain theme, though perhaps they might struggle with getting people to visit a gallery of works that won't look that different in the gallery compared to on their own screens.

Presenting new, previously unpublished, works on local artists might help make it work as a concept.

As a teenager I certainly enjoyed the experience of seeing a print of one of my digital paintings in an actual artgallery, even though it was just among other participants in the #Kunstbende youth art competition.

Not just that print was on display, but also the #GFXZone Flash app I contributed to the "Digital Media" part of the competition, which actually displayed some of my other digital drawings, along with some of my poems if memory serves me well, was accessible from a computer in kiosk mode.

And the final #dailyPhoto submissions as taken from my #NostalgiaBox:

• A "shift" key from an old #Commodore64.

• Various #memories related to my participation in the #KunstBende #artCompetition held in 2002 in #DeMeervaart, and the contribution as jury member in one of its final rounds.

and it wasn't just #drawing / #digitalPainting; that same #Kunstbende edition I participated in 3 different categories:
• #poetry (with my poem #SilverRain, if memory serves me well)
• #expo (in which #TurkeyPower was submitted)
• and some kind of then-new #digitalMedia category, to which I submitted some kind of interactive image viewer in #MacroMedia Flash.

The only #originalContent creation I do now (and rarely) is #coding, and the occasional creative toot.

Sorry that I had to delete & repost it, again, because I noticed a glaring typo... The #Kunstbende competition I participated in was in 2002, not 2012.
I guess my subconscious doesn't want to feel old by accepting it's already almost 2 decades ago. 🤔😕

Anyway, about 2½ years later, I took the afore-tooted #art competition image, #TurkeyPower, and played around with it some more as I explored the then-new beta of #PaintShopPro 9:

I kinda miss how creative I was back then…
