Little if any proof of notability of this video artist/programmer, apart from the paragraph in Blouin Art. Looking at his CV he doesn't make any claims of importance or success either. I can't see anything of note online - this guy is a young artist working in the interent age. fails WP:GNG/WP:ARTIST. Sionk (talk) 00:42, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep I'd like to see if I can dig up something. His work has been shown in the MoMA and Tate if I'm not mistaken. Also, Being the co-creator of OpenFrameworks makes one notable in some circles. Michiel Duvekot (talk)&#124;(contribs) 04:34, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. I added some material about his works in both MoMA and the Tate. WP:ARTIST #4 is aimed more at artists who create permanent artworks rather than the sort of ephemeral installation work that Watson does, but I think he's attracted sufficiently high-level attention to meet the spirit of that guideline. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:15, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Where's the high-level attention? If you know of any, maybe you could add it? Sionk (talk) 00:17, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Perhaps the meaning of my words was not as clear as I thought. I meant that having shows in MoMA and the Tate is high level attention. And I already added them to the article before writing here. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:11, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
