the general opinion

The General Opinion offers a place to share and discuss the role of art in each of our lives. It is a dumping ground for opinions, thoughts, feelings and emotions about, or provoked by, art. Utilising the frenzied, sharing world of the internet and the opportunities of a democratic election, the General Opinion is a forum on art for anyone with an internet connection.

In collaboration with publishing/curating/producing/thinking collective Medium Rare, the General Opinion began as a project to collect opinions of art, seeking to open an honest discussion on the varied aspects of art. a simple web form interface alongside a Raspberry Pi powered thermal receipt printer enables users to thoughtfully respond to a collection of carefully curated prompts, a printed receipt providing the satisfying option to take your tangible opinion home, or add to a growing board of thoughts.
