The Monterey Bay Aquarium is holding an online poetry contest for their new exhibit, The Jellyfish Experience. Do I hear a hint of Hendrix in that title?

Besides it being a cool idea — “Poetry in Motion” — it’s also a very well designed one page contest website. It’s got everything you’d want in a contest website: share buttons, not a lot of links, and the form to enter right there on the page. I’m not much of a poetry guy, but maybe I’ll enter. Winners get invited to a special opening night event where their poems will be read.

Check out my photos from a recent aquarium visit.

The Internet is exploding for artists while adding a whole new digital layer to the mix. Additionally, there has never been such a grand public stage to share artwork like there is now, and I’m digging it. I’ve never really been too into art, but over the last two years that has changed. I’m really very interested in the creative works people are creating and sharing, much of it online.

Here’s a video from the web-only PBS series “Off Book,” on Art in the Age of the Internet. It offers a view at some of the ways art is being created and shared on the Internet.
