Artists are using social media to market their work, communicate their ideas and even create new forms. Kiran Umapathy’s Headphones Project, for example, documents what randomly selected headphone-wearing strangers are listening to with a story, photo and link to the song. This project — like many other art projects these days — lends itself well to social media sharing. “Social media’s a big deal because that’s where your audience is,” said Umapathy, who also does marketing for Social Print Studio.
