I would love to see the new art star but Dish Network saw it fit too get rid of gallery HD just like that gone!!!!! I guess most people watch Monster HD, kung foo network or the 16 versions of A@E because they are still there.

“These are smart, self-aware artists, not 17 year-old singers on American Idol, and are approaching it as such.”

How do you know that other reality show participants are not “self-aware?” Peruse some interviews and you’ll find much contradictory evidence.

Art school kids, as a population, are just as naive as any other. The difference is that they are often trained/socialized to be smug and overly-confident in their self-criticality which leads them to making statements like yours.

As a current student of the art institute (and as someone who hasn’t witnessed the quality programming of Gallery HD,) I’m interested in this, and not in a school-spirit, “see-this-person-I-know-on-TV” type way.

Unlike contestants on most other reality shows, the few people I’ve talked to from this show have no delusions of grandeur, and are not going on the show expecting it to rocket them into superstardom. These are smart, self-aware artists, not 17 year-old singers on American Idol, and are approaching it as such.

They are aware that they will become characatures, their work watered down and made palatable, their words taken out of context to create drama, but they seem have a sense of humor about it. They see it as a lark, something to do for six months, and free studio space in NY; NOT their ticket to the big time.

Institutional bias is a whole different story. As someone immersed in it, I have my own ideas, but as someone with an objective POV, Paddy, I was curious if you’ve noticed any particular institutional biases from alumni @ SAIC?
