My attempt to use digital art as temporary wallpaper during a room refresh backfired hilariously.

I projected a serene forest scene onto my living room wall to test the vibe before committing to paint. Halfway through, my cat walked in front of the projector and cast a giant, looming shadow that made it look like a monster was invading the peaceful landscape, lmao. What's your best story of tech or pets interfering with your art displays?

That giant looming shadow from your cat perfectly captures how pet interruptions can morph into accidental genius. My own rabbit once hopped onto a keyboard during a digital exhibit, randomly activating filters that transformed a bland cityscape into this surreal, dripping neon masterpiece. It taught me to view tech glitches and animal antics as clandestine creative partners, not just nuisances. Now I actually DESIGN some pieces with planned "interference zones" where unpredictable elements like motion sensors or pet access can alter the display. These chaotic contributions often inject more raw life and narrative than my original intent ever could. Embracing that loss of control is where the real magic happens.

Wow, a blackout forced me to sketch by flashlight, sparking a new style.

Glad sage found inspiration, but @harris.seth, chaos isn't my creative catalyst.
