This new innovation in arts performance could either be really positive, or really negative, in my opinion. As it is a new idea, it could either be really good for a modern arts groups or it could lead to disaster. Since the performances are solely for viewing on the internet, it could push away the older crowds who would prefer to go to a performance in person. On the other hand, This could lead to a lot more exposure through mediums like facebook and twitter. The idea that a performance can be on a global level without and people in the "in-person" audience is fantastic and could be a really great step for arts organizations. Tate Live will continue to test out this idea over the next half year and then go from there.
