What photographers will be selling in the future will be more of a generative photo system, rather than a single print.
In the last five years my clientele has become more interested in the photo DVD album, negatives on disc and on-line gallery than physical prints. I have embraced and enjoyed the change in the medium format. Personally I have not been converted to the new format. I enjoy the framed print.
Until now. Viewing my current project, Ambient Art, on a 42-inch flat-panel high-definition screen has transformed the viewing experience.
I will be releasing my Ambient Art product later this year and I am toying with the idea of a generative photo product. My current thought is that you would receive a DVD with 60 images set to 60 minutes of classical/ambient music that would loop. Additionally the DVD would hold all 60 images in a jpeg format that would be suitable for printing up to a poster size wall print. The entire project would be licensed with Creative Commons so that you could share, remix and reuse the work as you wish with limited/some rights reserved. (i.e.) If you want to resale it, kick some cash my way. If you want to decorate your family homes or work, then have at it.
So, what do you think? Click (here) to the ambient art work-in-progress.

Very interesting idea especially as big screen, hi def TVs hanging off a wall become more and more popular. I used to do something slightly similar years ago at parties. I had some weird computer program that showed robots dancing to music. Their movements changed as the music beat changed. I hooked it up from my computer to my big screen tv.
I think your ambient art idea would work if you marketed it correctly and gave the disc it came on a really cool label. I use my Dymo DiscPainter disc labeler to put awesome color images and text on discs. I got a much greater response from cool labels then lamely labeled discs. I imagine your idea will enjoy similar results. Good luck with ambient art.
I like them. You ever seen those digital frames you can get? Looks like a regular frame but you upload your pictures to it and it scrolls through them. I could see "Ambient Art" style images working well with that.
Hey Craig,
Looks great. This almost makes me think of it as a screensaver for the tv. My roommates constantly leave the tv on and it kinda gets annoying. This, however, can add a touch of digital elegance to a living room.
