Largest multi-touch screen in U.S. installed at Cleveland Art Museum — from mashable.com by Lauren Indvik
Excerpt:
Museums are places we often go to connect with our pasts. The Cleveland Museum of Art , however, is also giving us a glimpse of the future.
The museum recently installed what it claims is the nation’s largest multi-touch screen, where as many as 16 visitors at a time can explore the 3,500 works in the permanent collection on display. Pieces are presented as thumbnails on a 40-foot-wide moving grid. Visitors can click on individual images to pull up more information, and to discover similar items by category (such as African art), artist, medium or period.

Arts organizations and digital technologies — from PewInternet.org
Excerpt:
- Social media, online video and pictures, mobile apps, websites, and email have transformed the arts in America
- Many cultural organizations say that digital technology gives them powerful new ways to promote events, engage with audiences, reach new patrons, and extend the life and scope of their work
- But challenges arise as organizations cope with tech-driven staffing and budgeting demands and technology itself has led to concerns about everything from cell phone interruptions at performances, to increasing competition for the public’s entertainment dollars, to a growing audience expectation that digital content should be free
