Hacking YouTube with Art

I’m hatching a little plan to hack the youtube algorythm with an art project. I’ll let you in on it. The only reason it’s a secret is that no on is reading this blog yet.

So here’s the plan. I want to test and see what will happen if I release one video every hour for 24 hours on youtube. I don’t know if good things will happen to the channel or bad but I’m going to try anyway.

I’ve already completed 24 paintings in 22 videos. I have two more to do and I’ll do a bonus 25th video as well. Once all of these painting sessions are done I’ll list each item on the website for sale. As this is a test I’m going to be using test prices to get the ball rolling. I’ll start out selling them for $50 a piece. Including shipping. Which is an absolute steal if I do say so myself.

When I launch the project I’ll use edited versions of the videos sped up with voice over. These one to two minuet painting videos are intended to be the rocket fuel for the channel. If they don’t do the trick then I’m hoping that the wrap up video for the project might generate some buzz. Let’s try.

I’ve included some of the first crop of the lifestream paintings bellow for your viewing enjoyment. I have the full length livestreams archived. Take a look at the live stream section of Dirt Creek Creative’s YouTube Channel.

The idea with this project isn’t to set the world on fire. That comes latter. I just want to see if I can move the needle. If this doesn’t do the trick then I’ll try again. Thanks for checking in.
