We already have this, its called American Idol. While I welcome the democratic process of the internet (both for my ravenous art addiction and my career), I am not willing to leave all of cultural production assessed by popular demand. Web traffic is a wonderful disseminator of the Susan Boyle virus, but I still value the analysis and selections of educated and experienced thinkers. Do I wish some of those thinkers were a bit more adventurous in where they look for talent? Absolutely. But I think we will see, and have already seen, more and more curators and dealers (especially the younger ones) venture out into the internets more and more. “The public will decide what is remembered and what is embraced.”

So it just goes to show that either galleries prevent their artists from doing self-promotion or that if you are embedded in the art world you don't need a website.One thing that Saltz misses out on is that most of these artists are unknown to the general public. They might be known by a tight circle in the art world, but aside from that the artists listed on his list are simply not known artists if you think of the bigger picture and how the internet has expanded interest in art on a global level.Saltz and other art critics are speaking the language of the past. They are not speaking the language of the future. Will it matter what Saltz thinks when there are artists who are embraced by the public and who have become known online rather than following a traditional path?There are artists who have website traffic that is higher than three galleries in Chelsea combined. The public will decide what is remembered and what is embraced. The old school traditional of carefully selected and promoted artists is old hat at best. Art critics would do well to embrace this change rather than play ball on the old field.Face it, there are some great artists who have not shown in any major NY galleries simply because they don't have connections to land those exhibits. But will the NY galleries matter a decade from now? Will galleries matter at all? The art world can't avoid the change that has been brought by the internet. In the future Saltz's opinion will be taken with a grain of salt. One thing I noticed is that only about 5 of these artists have websites.
