A Fishbowl Photo of Me By John Molezzo

In July, 2008 ArtistFishbowl was a publicized event during the Artown Festival. An article appeared in Sierra Arts Magazine, written by the artist, a spot appeared on the local evening news, and ArtistFishbowl was a feature story in the daily paper's Life section.

ArtistFishbowl In A Nutshell

A social media artist is a new breed of cat, exploring this medium and sharing what it entails to be an artist today. This 'public solitude' performance is happening in Los Angeles.

Sponsors make ArtistFishbowl happen. This creative project is self-sufficient and not funded through usual bureaucratic means.

The event is the meeting of business and art to mutual benefit. The resultant videos on Ustream, Facebook, YouTube, etc. never go away and their viewership grows exponentially. The host location offers artist patronage in the form of a public space of residency for an arranged number of days.

As a new-media artform, the performance continues in a progression exemplified by the Dadaists of the early 20th century, the Fluxus movement and more recently, British 'living sculptures', Gilbert & George.

Advancements in technology bring social interaction into play featuring physical location as subject matter. The engagement of others becomes the creative act from moment to moment. Tune in, be a part of the art performance. I need host locations, let's talk.
