A Firefox plugin, Add-Art, could just be the counter balance to advertising, targeted or otherwise, that art lovers especially are looking for.
Addart will work with the Adblockplus. While Adblockplus replaces each advert with a less annoying blank space, Addart will connect to an online database of artworks and dump them in the space. The picture database will be updated every two weeks and include the work of contemporary artists.
Update: I’ve been trying out the Addart plugin today. Seeing snippets of artworks instead of ads is a little strange but definitely far easier on the eye.
It does break some websites by inserting a larger than needed art image sometimes, not sure why, maybe it can’t work out the size of some ad blocks?
