An Idea

Here's an idea I had recently.

You buy a battery powered picture frame containing an LED screen which is connected via the internet to a 4K video camera focused on an original paining in a museum. What's displayed on your wall is a livestream video of the original artwork.


OK, you can't touch it, but you can't touch an original in a museum. For a small monthly fee you are permanently connected to whatever artwork that its owner facilitates with a livestream feed.

A print of an original artwork is disconnected from the original, whereas what you're looking at via the livestream is the original itself, so it's as good as being at the museum, but without the crowds. 

You're also performing a security service for the owner of the artwork.

Talking of art, the Cambridges released, through official channels, a painting by Prince George.


Fans of the Cambridges have been cooing over it and complimenting George on his artistic skills; however, before releasing it they should perhaps have checked whether he copied something with a copyright on it - a Christmas card, perhaps.


I think this could get them into a plagiarism row with the original artist. There again, it might bring him some additional money through the adverts.

Kids,eh? Especially Princes....
