== Doing Doocratic Art Excellently ==
These are some suggestions on ways to do art both doocratically and excellently by asking around for input.

* If you have an idea for excellent art, share your idea with others. 
* Put together a description and concept art and post it here under proposed art projects. 
* Post a link to Noisebridge-discuss
* Share it on the [[Slack]] and [[Discord]] channels like #general, #hackitorium and #art.
* Show it to random people and solicit feedback
* Show others who may want to help make your art or do more art inspired by what you're doing

=== Mobile Art ===
If your art is non-permanently installable (hung from a wall rather than painted directly on it), great!
* you can put it up with some asking around for feedback in a place that seems excellent.

=== Installation Art ===
If your art is permanently altering the space (painted on a wall for example), discuss!
* Post your idea proposal to the mailing list so people have time to understand what you want to do.
* Do people like the idea? Get opinions on the best place to install the art.
* What things will happen in the location? (Will shelves be moved that could cover your art up?)
* Can art inspire people doing activities at a location? (Tesla overlooks numerous oscilloscopes.)
* Does it need to be a mural or could you hang it for increased longevity when the space is rearranged?
* Does what you're doing fit the description you gave or has it scope creeped into something different than what people expect?

=== Art Modifications ===
* Do-acracy requires following our one rule: Be excellent to each other!
* Being excellent means not going ahead and doing something you think others may object to. 
* But if it seems others would be fine with it, then, do it!
* If, along the way (or after), you find that there are objections, then you have to be willing to undo it.
* And the people with objections should be willing to help. (Assuming the artist acted in good faith.)
* That's Do-acracy, in action.  As we've seen it at Noisebridge since it's beginning.
* In the event that paint needs to be removed, [http://www.lowes.com/pd_108237-78-FG659B_0__?productId=3738753&store_code=3095&cm_mmc=SCE_PLA-_-Paint-_-ThinnersAndSolvents-_-3738753:Goof_Off&CAWELAID=&kpid=3738753&CAWELAID=1437537997&k_clickID=ff814638-45ce-4406-9b59-511deaaa3b11 Goof-off spray]], a few minutes to soften up and a metal spatula can scrape off most kinds of canned paint.
