| I am writing to tell about my experience as 1 of 5 jurors for the 2006
Uptown Art Fair. I was amazed at the long hours involved in the process.
The ZAPP images were VERY clear and easy to read and ran extremely
smoothly. |
| I also saw how important the booth slide is, especially when there are
differences or questions among the jurors. I will try to give examples how
the booth slide affect the jurying, at least for me. One artist took
consistency to an extreme and sent 4 slides that were so similar, they
showed very little creativity. The booth slide, which was to the right of
all these extremely same slides, showed diversity in both color and size
and the work looked interesting and appealing. The other side of the coin
was when the slides looked pretty good and the booth looked cluttered with
no work similar to the slides. |
| One other thing I liked about the ZAPP jurying was on the
keyboard you had a choice, yes, no, or maybe. You had to have a lot of
no's to get off the jurying, so people with maybes had a chance to be seen
at a 2nd round or even a 3rd if need be. This seems better than a number
system to me. We didn't really look at the images on the computer, we
looked at the big images on the screen and only looked on the computer to
mark our answer. |
