Selfportrait.net is a social networking website geared towards artists, which allows users to exhibit and sell their work online. The site organizes its members by popularity (art hits and art sales) and displays the data in a unique graphical ranking system. The most popular artists are then given the option of having their work displayed at various galleries in New York City, thus democratizing the practice of art dealership and affording unknown artists a legitimate shot of having their work shown in a gallery.
