One is bored and needs inspiration, another is focused and needs concentration, a third is curious and needs information. How could their needs be met? Is it possible to make a single thing that could help them all? Would it be a tool, a system, an application, a service, an environment? This paper describes attempts to imagine this problem, to invent a solution, and to try to build it. The context is that of Tate, a family of British art galleries, and the means by which to deliver artwork information, concentrated study, artistic inspiration, and much that is in between, online.</p> <p class="keywords">Keywords: art, Tate, gallery, collections, databases, interfaces</p> </div> <p><div class="field field-type-nodereference field-field-paper-program-ref"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Program Item Reference:&nbsp;</div> <a href="/mw2011/programs/art_artists">Art &amp; Artists</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="og_rss_groups"></div><p><a href="http://www.museumsandtheweb.com/mw2011/papers/art_artists" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://www.museumsandtheweb.com/mw2011/papers/art_artists#comments MW2011 art collections databases gallery interfaces Tate http://www.museumsandtheweb.com/crss/node/14883 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 00:51:13 +0000 jmkd 14883 at http://www.museumsandtheweb.com
