Subjektbeschleuniger by Eno Henze



What a fascinating work by Eno Henze !


"The Subjektbeschleuniger (subject accelerator) mimics signatures subatomic particles leave in collision detectors such as installed at the CERN in Geneva. I have always been fascinated by the beauty and simplicity of these signatures as opposed to their invisible meaningfulness. I use these shapes to create an image that still carries the symbolic reference of these signatures but that is dispensed from scientific interpretability at the same time."

"on the first day of art mysterium all artists and visitors built together the metafisic love-god-kiss-house for harmonious development of men and were very happy."

How can we attract more visitors ? The Art Club Caucasus ?

a question to Lado, Nino, Ralph our Art Club Caucasus members, friends, supporters and other frequent visitors of this blog:

How can our art and this blog get more attention ?

I resume:

- this blog runs almost 1 year now
- it is focused on art experience, mainly via images of art related to the Caucasus Region
- the focus changed recently slightly to Contemporary Art worldwide
- the main contributers are Lado and myself
- Comment activity is very low

Here are some questions, we could think about and discuss:

What are we doing wrong, when we are only received by approximately 30 readers a day ?

How could there be more quality in this blog ? 

How could we improve the relevance of this blog to Artists, Art Critics, Intelligentsia, interested open accidentally crossing visitors ?

Are our posts relevant, interesting, mind provoking ?

What do we want from this blog and Art blogs in General ?

Who are and where are our potential readers ? How we can attract them ?

How can this blog contribute to make our art better known ? 
How can this blog contribute to todays main art issues ?
How can this blog contribute to improve art sales ?

Some of my loose ideas for a possible solution:

a) I assume, that only a minority  of artists (but growing)  worldwide is reading art blogs yet.

b) We could make more works fitted for Youtube, and link back to this blog, like Art in SlideShows, short or longer art videos. Thus try to put our works in the mainspots of the internet, like we try already to do in Flickr. 

c) For sure, there should be more written texts on Contemporary Art questions, but could we do this ourselves, or should we ask friends and folks to write a guest comment on these topics.
Who could be asked ?

d) Should this blog become a little bit more provocative and crazy in a good sense ? And how ?

e) Could adhoc Mini-Net-Work-Projects improve the quality, like f.e. drawing a mother with child in Budapest, in Tbilisi, in New York in Tel Aviv and have the works in 24 or 48 hours online ?

f) What kind of tasks and subjects these Net-Work-Projects could have ?

g) Should we update the Art Club Members more frequently by Email or would this be annoying ?

h) What would YOU like to have and read and see in this blog ?

Best regards, Hans
