THERE IS AN ART MUSING PARADIGM SHIFT IN PROGRESS

CLICK HERE TO VISIT THE THE SITE
Galleries around the world are collaborating with GOOGLE to broaden the ARTmusing experience. In Australia the National Gallery of Australia is working with copyright holders to make their work in the NGA's collections more accessible. Apparently, if artists do not agree to their work being made accessible in this way, well it will be pixelated. There is always a bureaucratic solution available for CULTURALrecalcitrants isn't there!

Watch out for the galleries unwilling to play with GOOGLE and especially so for their reasons for not doing so. Chances are they'll be vacuous! ANYWAY the chances are that there will be some DUSTeating collections to watch out for too.

FANTASTIC! Good old Google, doing for art what it's done for maps. Why aren't museums engaging with this stuff more?!
