ArtStream Web 2.0

Nya möjligheter med Web 2.0. ArtStream är en del av en process som ingår i BarCamp. Nylands Hantverk kunde bli en del av en internationell s.k. Open Source utvecklingsprocess som kan leda till någonting helt annat internationellt. Det mesta sker på nätet.

What you read her is a fusion of art and modern application of Web 2.0 interactive technology. This could be a clever way to connect the Nylands Design Craft with international movements.

Olga is presenting artstream, her art project on how to improve museum experience through the cunning use of mobile technologies and web2.0. Basically the idea is that you can comment and “fav” pieces of the exhibtion, see extra elements like video interview with the artist and social functions like audio comments from other people. Then you can switch to offline mode, where you can re-organize the experience, managing contacts, comments and so on.

Personally I think this would be quite cool an application, bringing actual social power to museum consumption, which is something that usually ends with the end of the visit itself, and is bound to be synchronous. Actually some work in this direction can already be seen at the V&A for example (with podcasts and community events)... yet another potential evidence that this is a good path. Oh, and it makes use of shared google calendars :D
