If the term ‘showdown’ conjures up images in your head of bloodthirsty cowboys battling it out to the end, think again. While the Saatchi Gallery’s Showdown feature does involve a certain level of competitiveness, it also seems to be a feature where there are only winners, and no losers.
Showdown is an innovative development in Saatchi’s online presence that allows emerging artists to showcase their works on the website and build their online profiles and portfolios. The Art room is a particularly enticing section where artwork from children of all ages can be viewed. This is one website where the charming squiggles made by a two-year-old can rightly demand their status as art alongside sophisticated and elaborate oils and watercolors by adult artists. An especially innovative feature of this section is that art can be made as well as displayed online.
One of the most alluring and unusual features of the
Showdown section is that visitors to the website can vote for each image on a scale of one to ten. Handy links are also available with each image so that visitors can email their favorite images to their friends quickly and easily. Users can also develop a favorites list so that they can store links to images by their favorite artists, and view new work by them. Works that others have recently added to their favorites can also be viewed on the home screen. The popularity of an artist or an image can increase greatly depending on viewers’ perceptions of it. Voting consists of several rounds with individual winners, and an overall winner is chosen at the end.
