That's a fun way to explain your work! Of course you can just write it down, but I found it -as viewer/listener- much better to understand it while listening and looking at the image. I immediately go looking for the grain and layers and mouth highlighting as you talk about it, rather than read half a sentance, look at the pic, read another half, look at the pic again, then read the next half sentance (oh where was I - read the first sentance again - ah yes) and so on.
@Daed: I've been experimenting more with audio lately as ya know from my 1st podcast. I'm looking for a good, free podcast transcription service too. Sounds like what you're doing might be akin to me narrating with a Ken Burns effect, but what's important here is since sound is linearly temporal, those cues in my recording prompted you to look at various aspects of the art — very intriguing.
Yes, it works great. You can listen and watch at the same time. Just like in museum you can get a device that tours you and you can listen to people explaining the art, you see much more than when you'd just walk by and have a quick look.
