Instead of commercials - art! | |
A very simple proposal: during every commercial break, instead of one of the commercials, a forty-second or minute-long art clip is shown. It could be simply a beautifully-shot landscape, a piece of music accompanied by visual art, or even a serialised bite-sized drama. It would give struggling artists
a chance to make their work public, and they could audition with the network. Hopefully it would boost ratings with hippies and the like (though that could be a pipe dream) and so wouldn't need to be govt.-sponsored, but that might be necessary. Even so, it sounds like something the public and artists would enjoy.

I was under the impression that the principal benefit of high ratings was that advertisers would be willing to pay more for their products to be shown. |

Art and advertisign have long been closely tied, if only because most commercial artists still strive to follow fine art standards. More than a few 30 second ads are aesthetically pleasing enough to withstand museum scrutiny. |

Doesn't MTV already do this? |
