The Art-o-Meter is sending starving artists back to the drawing room. This little gizmo can be propped below a painting to rate its popularity. Using motion sensors, it detects how much time people spend looking at the painting. It then rates the painting (using a 5-star system) based on the amount of time that it’s been in exhibition. Cool concept, if not for one flaw. Our gadget-addicted selves would probably spend more time looking at the Art-o-Meter than we would the painting.
