Mona Lisa et al

One of the most intriguing manifestations of art is perhaps Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. Lying at the Lourve in Paris, Mona Lisa’s sloppy smile, or smug, or whatever you can call it, has proved a mystery for many a historians since ceturies. Infact, it’s that curve of her lips that has been the hot topic of art historians, religious bodies and secret societies ever since Leonardo struck his final stroke on the canvas.

The expression through the visual medium could not get any more exciting and challenging than this painting. But with the internet, there’s a new age of art, expresions and intrigue in the e-community. Surfing thru the net is like coming across many smugly smiling Mona Lisas, many in-the-making Leonardo Da Vincis. Don’t mind the exaggeration, but indeed, today the internet has surpassed the limitations of time, space and money and brought to your eyes an exciting range of audio, visual and static means of entertainment through podcasting, video-sharing sites like Tou tube, and photo sharing sites like flickr, showbeyond, and more recently, 123bubbles.com.

 Out of these, I seem to have developed a soft corner for 123bubbles. I have been to 123bubbles.com quite a few number of times and seem to like the innate simplicity which the site projects. Every two three days or so, the photos change and I see more smiling faces, more toothless smiles and more happy family get-togethers.

 This is a cool new site that for once, does not  entirely cash on the technology savvy youth who catch splendid, politically correct photos, agreed, but at the same time, it’s a site where moms and dads and sisters and siblings bare a wide grin and capture some crazy moments of life. And then, they put it up on 123bubbles.com without any inhibitions about how good or bad the photo looks. Quite frankly, Flickr and webshot.com gave me a huge inferiority complex, which 123bubbles.com is slowly easing down.and
