I started "Art With Teeth" about three plus years ago on #facebook as a vehicle to share and propel artists that don't fear MESSAGE in their work and take head-on charges at problems that face us as a species. Through daily posting (and not a DIME spent through their info-pimp advertising structure) I grew the base up to 52,593 fans as of today. Nice. That said, fuck facebook. They've banned me for content dozens of times, without explanation of redress and have set my algo down to a drip feed, due to the political nature of the work. So, I'm moving to greener, freer pastures like these lovely rolling hills here at #Steemit.
Here I am with @EleanorGoldfield of #ActOut on what this is all about:
This has been my passion project for years now, time to get serious and launch this into a real, viable platform. Please follow the page at @ArtWithTeeth and help me create the community these artists deserve, and I will keep curating the best activist artists on the planet. http://artwithteeth.com
I saw some of the stuff you do at the CRS event and was pretty blown away. I can see why you get a lot of push-back from "establishments". But having said that, there's plenty of artists who have copped the same over the years. You'd think it wasn't such a big deal any more, but there is is. You just gotta keep pushing through it. @artwithteeth is awesome. Kick ass.
Nice one! You were there or watched the VR elsewhere?
Streamed in from Australia.
That event was #mindscrambling goodness all around. #CRSlive
i honestly had no idea what to expect from ArtWithTeeth ^^
having that in mind this arrangement of bulbs is just killing it.
and congrats to your decision to leave facebook :-) very much appreciated
Word. Thanks @chrisx Yup, gotta get the ZUCK off of that rigged pop stand.
A community-driven platform that rewards accounts directly? Oh hell yes. Bring it on. Come on over, the water's fine.
