why is nudity so misunterstood?

Saw this posted on You Tube by Blunty3000. It does so many things right, starting with acknowledging the other contributors, looks at the human form as beauty, uses the censored blackouts sensibly but most of all it demonstrates that nudity can be treated a perfectly normal form of artistic expression.

Nude
"Consider this video both a love letter to the Human form, and an open letter to any and all either interested in the nude in art, or are confused by it, or have trouble telling what is art and what is porn, or simply want to explore what goes on between model and artist in the creation of artistic studies of the naked human body.

Thank you to all who helped me make this video, It simply would not have been possible without you. Thank you to all the artists who either offered their work directly, or allowed it's use through the Creative Commons copyright license, Your generosity is greatly appreciated. :)" ...Blunty3000

An on-line exhibition worth visiting

My very favourite "grown up" web artist is carolyn weltman (aka sophi,
aka art for engineers) ...she's a lovely person as well. anyway she has been selected as the as the featured artist on the british museum of erotic art website (look under the exhibition section, while it lasts)... congratulations carol

It is definitely worth a visit if you are not familiar with her work ... especially the sensuality in the way she does her shoes... but take your time to have a look around at the originality and creatively that still exists in the art world ... the all to boring "me too" celebrity/pornish/fackr copyism and image theft doesn't have to be the only thing you can look at on the net you know ... there is life outside second life,myspace, yahoo & flickr!

Raison d'Être

Whilst I still draw on paper ... butI am getting more and more convinced that art has to make the move onto all our personal technology ...otherwise that technology will remain cold and remote... showing some creatively on your personal things will enhance your life ... and it doesn't even have to be a nude ... the problem is really the rate at which the technology changes ... does your mobile phone now have a camera? ... have you personalized your PC yet with an original wallpaper ... do you want to? would you rather wait for the video ... have you ever thought about
it.

Should I start to consider making more of my art for technology ... such as screen wallpaper ...or is blogging art enough ... willflickr (and yahoo) ever let the art flow ... are the millions of screens of the rapidly developing range of personal devices the biggest art gallery of all? ... perhaps I am a pioneer ...not just an eccentric

I think it is good to vary the media I am using... well at least occasionally... I think there is les need to vary the subject
