Deep Canvas

After receiving what I thought was yet another unwanted marketing call, I was unexpectedly drawn into a great conversation about local design firms and the creative community here in Detroit. I followed one web address given by the caller and was introduced to the creative folks at “Elemental,” located in Troy, Michigan. After being wowed by their great web site, I received the added bonus of being directed to “deep canvas,” their social network for Detroit’s creative class. I fell in love instantly.

Admittedly, I’m addicted to joining sites I like, but I rarely decide that I’d like them sufficiently enough to want to complete my profile, upload a picture, and submit a comment or blog article.  deep canvas changed my mind from the start. Not only can you submit articles and create a personalized profile page, you can avail yourself of the great content they offer and network with other artists, technophiles, intellectuals, and other such kewl and creative types.  And the content is extraordinary in my humble opinion.  Check out this abstract video that uses a data mapping technology set to a track by Blip Boutique called “Rest my Chemistry.”

I enjoyed this video so much I just had to include it on the DP site and send it to numerous friends on the West Coast. Not only do I recommend visiting the site, but if you are a creative living in or around the Detroit area, please join the network. I don’t believe you’ll be disappointed.
