Have a look here....
DAMIEN HIRST'S STUDIO WEBCAM
Hmm...not much happening, is there? In fact, you won't see Hirst himself doing anything arty - he's got assistants for that.
So I had a look for some others. Here's Antonino Cammarata, painting away at landscape in Sicily...

Antonino - where are you?
Here's David Oleski in Boston.

Er, he's not here either...
Now, Chinese artist Ai Weiwei also set up a webcam. He did the sunflowers seeds at the Tate as part of the Unilever series - you may even have the odd sunflower seed yourself. In fact, they're currently selling on Ebay at £28 each.

Weiwei launched several webcams broadcasting
from his studio back in April on a website called “Weiwei Cam”. The webcams allowed you to
see Ai working, giving you a view of his office, desk, courtyard, and
even his bedroom.
This was meant to highlight the issue of surveillance in
China. Ai is currently under constant surveillance by the Chinese
government due to his open criticism of them.
Unfortunately, the authorities stepped in and shut down the webcams. So you can't see him either...
An artist named Randy Welborn local to Southeast Texas has a live webcam on his website: http://randywelborn.com/webcam/index.shtml
ReplyDeleteThanks for that, Doyle. I had a look at Randy in action in his studio!
DeleteAre you any relation to Mr Welborn...?
There's a live art studio web cam on the hauntedartist.com web site. It is available Friday and Saturday nights from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. You can hear all types of things going on including EVP. During daylight hours, the artist works in the studio and runs a closeup web cam on her drafting table while working on paintings and jewelry.
