That whole topic came up after I opened a wine gift from my wife at dinner for my birthday last night.  It was a bottle of wine from Napa Valley in California, called Screaming Eagle.  It is also the most collectible wine made in California.

I wonder what affect the cool name and logo had on how the media decided to cover the brand. Did the art work help to set them apart from some of the other wineries making memorable wine in the area? Is there any way to know for sure?

The internet has been a complete revolution and has arisen as a threat to corporate dominated traditional forms of media. The world wide web is essentially without a center, without a core of owners and editors that can control information. Google likes to see itself as the keeper of the internet but time will prove even the mighty Google as being unable to control, monetize, sanitize and manipulate the internet. The recent spate of changes to the Panda Algorithm was ostensibly to make better content more visible, but really it was to stop the little man hijacking the SERPs. It is for this reason that Google fills many front pages for money-relevant key terms with its own junk – maps, shop listings and of course those who pay to jump the queue with adwords. The more they do this, the less people will find that interests them on Google and the faster new ways of exploring content on the web will be conceived.

The same is true of reviews. Whereas big companies try to monopolize reviews in the mainstream media and online people are dicscovering that blogs on a vast array of topics from Phangan Island, to grasshoppers, to new music, to politics, to coffee makers, to American occupation crimes in Baghdad are far more absorbing, relevant and ‘unflitered’.

As more people become smarter consumers of media; as they download, stream, and browse what they want and as the big media giants fail to stop ‘copying’ by acts of Congress the mainstream media will lose its power, because it will lose a lot of its revenue. The outside media will become the new dominant media.

Art is not only self reflective, it is also strongly connected to humanity. As living conditions change for normal people art reflects these changes as well as comments on these changes. Thus, we have Victorian writers like Charles Dickens describing the utter wretchedness created in the inner city slums of London. At the same time in Hard Times Dickens uses the character of Gradgrind to show how education was becoming mechanical and turning people into automatons. In art we see the paintings of Goya and Picasso expressing the horrors of war. Arthur Miller in Death of a Salesman takes apart the American dream and shows its absurdity and tragedy. These are just a few examples of different forms of art reacting to, reflecting and commenting on society that is going through changes brought about by technology.

At the same time the tools and materials available to artists have changed because of advances in technology. As oil colors got better so artists could use more colors and could produce paintings that would last longer. Modern installation art owes much to development in video technology. Sculptors were restricted to stone and wood that could be worked with a chisel. Now with modern EDM electrode cutting scupltors can use even the hardest metals and alloys for their work. With computers they are able to produce a consistency and an attention to detail that was not possible before. In a way technology has its beauty and art has its practicality (think of furniture). The two are inextricably linked. It is certain that as the digital age progresses so will art forms.

If you are unable to borrow money to help out with either an event, new design materials needed or even if you are starting out and need help with your studies, but your friends or family are unable to help you out, then consider using a Cash Loan to help you out in the short term. You can borrow up to £1000 and have the money in your account the next day so there is no delay in getting you the money you need when you need it most. Support your Art if you are really passionate about it, but do be careful to not get yourself into debt. You need to make sure you can pay back the loan.

The Internet has exacerbated the problem. Now we are not required to frequent local stores to purchase our wares. The things we need and want can be delivered to us by an unknown deliveryman. From unknown sorting stations, from unknown fulfillment centers where faceless employees toil under the constant threat of joblessness. These are conditions no American would recognize as American. It’s difficult to conceive the type of hard work that the lowest paid among us are required to do. Life expectancies in America are found by averages, but it does not always take into account the poorest amongst our society.  in recent years the problem of foreclosures have affected more and more citizens,not just in America, but around the world.  In turn, this has lead to an increase in those looking for properties to rent.  Renting gives people slightly more flexibility, depending on your landlord, but can be equally as challenging as foreclosures if your landlord is particularly unsympathetic to you and your families plight.

It is true, even the name speaks it, that vintage refrigerators are refrigerators that were literally designed and manufactured at least 50 years ago, with vintage refrigerator parts and accessories that are no way as updated as the modern fridges that we have today. But you can’t deny that vintage refrigerators still have that endearing charm, as they are truly reflections of the lifestyle of a generation gone by.

For those people who are still clueless about the characteristics and qualities of vintage refrigerators, here are some points they should know about:

A vintage refrigerator carries a high price value, especially if the model is no longer released, rare and relatively unique. At some point, vintage fridges may be costly than ordinary and conventional refrigerators that are for sale today. Retro fridges are appraised in terms of age, brand and the complexity of the unit, both technically and in design. They are also highly popular, especially amongst vintage collectors.

The vintage refrigerator’s year of manufacturing date can go as far as 1920s, although most of the vintage and retro fridges, including their antique refrigerator parts, were made and designed in the fifties and sixties.

The primary purpose of a fridge restoration is to restore back an old fridge back into proper working order – meaning, to get it working properly again so that despite its age, you can still ensure the minimum requirements for decent refrigeration. But there’s also room for improvement in terms of cooling performance as well as design updates, as most restoration jobs calls for customization as well.

No need to worry about energy efficiency. True, vintage refrigerators are not energy efficient but once they are restored, their beautiful appearance is well worth the higher electricity bill. These works of kitchen art are well worth the cost.

The business case is this media technology is a great platform to share art.  What is media? Where is media? Media is on television. Media is on radio. Media is in the broadsheets. Media is in advertising. Media is online. The movies is part of media.

Before technology the only means for people to gather news and information about other people is through talk and written letters. The world was small then. News was confined within communities and villages. People’s worlds revolved around their families and their communities.

When radio was invented communities were able to hear news about their cities or province. When television was invented people heard about information about their country and even other countries. Media technology brought the world closer together giving people a vast understanding of the world they live in. When Internet technology entered the picture personal access to any form of information around the world became possible.

Media is a powerful tool for sharing information to the world. This is where it is important to art because art like the news is also information. It is a language. It is a form of expression. Therefore it is material that can be transmitted in any of the media formats. In fact, art is material that media technology sells in the form of movies, music, plays, fashion, advertising etc. It is considered a commodity that people pay for to watch and listen to. As such, the partnership of media and art was instrumental in creating the most lucrative industries in the world. This partnership has allowed artists not only to express their art but also to earn millions from it.

The presence of the movie industry, the advertising industry, the television industry, the music industry to name some show that media is a great platform not just for sharing art but selling it as well.

But how about high-brow art? Some form of art may not be right for media. A Picasso painting for example is best viewed in person at the Louve in Paris. Or an opera is best seen in a theater in Rome, Italy. Just like a Broadway play deserves to be watched inside a Broadway theater in New York. There are just some forms of art that are not compatible with the technology of media. And it is best to keep it that way.

Olive oil is no different in that regard, but perhaps no other food product has been featured as prominently in religious art other than the apple itself.

From the Catholic Baptism to the olive tree paintings themselves, there are literally thousands of examples of art centered around the olive, especially in the Mediterrean basin.  Of course, in modern times there are quite a few books which document the larger olive oil industry in present times.
