Saw a student gallery wall at the Cleveland Institute of Art and one piece was just a tablet left on
Was killing time near University Circle last Tuesday before a coffee meetup. Wandered into the student showcase on the second floor. One digital piece was literally an iPad propped on a stand, screen still awake, with Procreate open and a half-finished painting of a bus stop. No frame, no plaque, just the glare and a fingerprint smudge. Honestly it stuck with me more than the finished prints on the other wall. Do you think showing the process like that works better than a clean final image, or does it just look lazy?

That glare and fingerprint smudge are exactly what makes it hit harder than the finished prints. I've seen this done well when the tablet stays unlocked so people can actually scroll through the layers, versus when it's just frozen on one screen looking like someone forgot their stuff. If there's no way to interact with it, it reads as lazy, but if you can poke around the process, it's the most honest thing on the wall.
