Claim:
1. A method for making an image-making support medium that is a new reinvented version of a conventional utilitarian fine artist's canvas, wherein the reinvented image support medium facilitates artistic expression and the creation and display of art, design that is applied art, and/or architecture made therewith, thereupon and/or therefrom, comprising: preparing a macroscopic two or three-dimensional image-making support having distinct edges or boundaries with a feature that is interactive or interactive by being responsive, requiring the work to be active rather than entirely passive, with this interactive feature more complex than or other than a conventional on/off switch or dimmer; and also preparing this work with at least one or one combination from A)-G): A) at least one nanomaterial; B) a light-emitter that is one or a combination of: an organic light-emitting diode (OLED); a light-emitting display screen that is partially or entirely transparent or translucent; a light-emitting display screen capable of flexing or folding; or a light-emitting display screen that is approximately about C) an electronic paper display or e-material, and the work is: fine art; it is architecture; it is clothing design, fashion design, a work of design that is a clothing or fashion accessory, hat design or belt design; it is a work of design that functions as a tote bag, a handbag, or a container; it is costume design; it is jewelry design, it is jewelry design that is a necklace, a bracelet, an anklet, a ring, a pin or earrings; it is furniture design or furniture design that is a table, it is a mural; it is a work of fine art or design for viewing or display on or in a wall or architectural structure; or it is a work of design for viewing or display apart from being worn directly upon the human body as jewelry design, clothing design or watch design; D) a visible tangible transparent or translucent form or display capable of aesthetic change that can be seen from one or more sides or angles, with its visible aesthetic change capable of occurring independent of any separate light source that may be part of the work, with its visible aesthetic change requiring the work to be active rather than entirely passive, and with the transparent or translucent form or display being part or all of the work which is other than conventional privacy glass; E) a visible interactive or responsive intangible hologram; F) an organic transistor, a transparent transistor, an organic light-emitting transistor (OLET), or a transistor that is a combination of these; or G) a conductive polymer that is: capable of conducting electricity that flows or is non-static, emits light and/or is in a device so that the conductive polymer is separate from any e-material display, photographic film or photographic paper that might also be part of the work; and in addition, the specifications described above are incorporated into a two or three-dimensional artwork, picture or design that is applied art, and this aesthetic work is: sculpture, a painting, a mural, a kinetic work, a mobile, an openwork art form, pictorial, fine art, applied art, or architecture; it shows a figure, an animal, a still life, landscape, nature, the sky, a part or aspect of any of these, subject matter that is not physically present, drawing, collage, a pattern, a depiction or representation of a recognizable subject, or a combination of these; it has the visible signature or distinguishing mark of the artist, designer or group of artists and/or designers who created it which is other than the mark of an industrial or commercial manufacturer or scientific organization; that has a title as art or design that is applied art; or a combination of any of these; and preparing the two or three-dimensional aesthetic work as a whole in and of itself, free from any separate alternative functionality or purpose that differs from that described in this claim, and the work is free of being purely commercial or informational, and it is also other than a conventional computer, camera, phone, personal digital assistant device, digital photo frame, digital picture frame, portable media player device, a utilitarian wrist watch, or a conventional window that changes uniformly to serve purely utilitarian purposes.
