Google Art Project: E-Learning

February 19, 2011 By Wendy Campbell

Introducing Google Art Project – unique collaboration between Google and some of the world’s most acclaimed art museums to enable people to discover and view more than a thousand artworks online in extraordinary detail.  Using Google Street View technology, visitors can move around the museum’s galleries, selecting works of art that are of interest and navigate though interactive floor plans and learn more about the museum.

Features include:

Artwork View: discover featured artworks at high resolution and use the custom viewer to zoom into paintings. Expanding the info panel allows you to read more about an artwork, find more works by that artist and watch related YouTube videos.

Create your own collection: the ‘Create an Artwork Collection’ feature allows you to save specific views of any of the 1000+ artworks and build your own personalised collection. Comments can be added to each painting and the whole collection can then be shared with friends and family.

Museums are included in the project:

Alte Nationalgalerie, Berlin – Germany
Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian, Washington DC – USA
The Frick Collection, NYC – USA
Gemäldegalerie, Berlin – Germany
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC – USA
MoMA, The Museum of Modern Art, NYC – USA
Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid – Spain
Museo Thyssen – Bornemisza, Madrid – Spain
Museum Kampa, Prague – Czech Republic
National Gallery, London – UK
Palace of Versailles – France
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam – The Netherlands
The State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg – Russia
State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow – Russia
Tate Britain, London – UK
Uffizi Gallery, Florence – Italy
Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam – The Netherlands

Some of the paintings and features captured with Street View were required to be blurred by the museums for reasons pertaining to copyrights.

Play Art Loud: Artbabble.org

July 11, 2009 By Wendy Campbell

artbabble-badge-782x90Every once in a while, I like to share outstanding websites I come across in my art-web travels.  Recently, I discovered ArtBabble.org, a website dedicated to spreading the word of art through video.  Launched by  the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Art Babble  showcases video art content in high quality format from a variety of sources and perspectives.

Currently, Art Babble partners with Art 21, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, MOMA, The MET, San Francisco MOMA, Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Van Gogh Museum,  the New York Public Library and others to provide videos on a wide range of topics (aka channels). Browse by Series, Channel, or Artist.

In the short video below, Jenny Holzer discusses the programming of her LED sculptures during the installation of the exhibition PROTECT PROTECT at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. Check out this great resource yourself at Art Babble.org
