Ibexx and thread, Article...INTEL: Intel launches Web Site Of The Century, Part II... September 27, 1999 NEW YORK, NY, M2 PRESSWIRE : * Second Half of " The American Century" Exhibition Opens at the Whitney and ArtMuseum.net Intel Corporation announced today that its online gallery, ArtMuseum.net, will launch a major Internet exhibition for Part II of The American Century: Art & Culture 1900-2000 exhibition. The online exhibition will be unveiled on September 26 in conjunction with the opening of the museum exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Already featuring works from Part I of The American Century, ArtMuseum.net will now highlight works from a full century of American art. With realistic 3-D imaging and in-depth, interactive background information, ArtMuseum.net promises to give people around the world a new way to experience and learn about works of art. ArtMuseum.net takes maximum advantage of the Web's global accessibility as well as its unique capacity to integrate images and information and allow virtually limitless, self-directed exploration. This unprecedented collaboration between Intel and the Whitney permits site visitors to explore rich, interactive content and makes Part II of The American Century exhibition, which covers the period 1950-2000, accessible to people who may not be able to travel to the museum. "ArtMuseum.net takes advantage of the Internet as an entirely new educational medium that enables users actively to assemble information through their own self-directed integration of images, text and sounds," says Ciaran Doyle, director of Intel Productions. "This online gallery features technology that allows the viewer the opportunity to learn about a work of art from a totally new perspective." Part I of The American Century, covering years 1900-1950, opened in April of 1999 with an online exhibition featuring over 100 of the works on display in the museum. With the launch of Part II, ArtMuseum.net adds more than 100 works selected from the Part II in-museum exhibition along with archival documents, images, and historical information. New technology will allow site visitors to view some works in 3-D. The complete century of American art will continue to be available online for three years. Visitors to the online extension of The American Century, Part II, will be guided through a unique set of educational perspectives that, when combined with the technologies and capabilities of the Internet, enable the online experience to do more than just recreate a visit to the museum. Site visitors will be able to learn about works of art as they relate to major historical events and central themes that artists have been addressing over the past fifty years. Visitors will also be able to create and save customized, personal tours of the exhibition or use interactive learning centers on the site. New Technology/New Ways of Seeing Intel has enhanced The American Century site with new technology that provides as realistic an exhibition experience as possible on today's Internet. For example, several sculptures featured from Part II will have 3-D capabilities, including Velvet White by John Chamberlain, 1962, Soft Toilet by Claes Oldenburg, 1966, and Puzzle Bottle by Charles Ray, 1995. Site visitors will be able to rotate the 3-D renderings of these sculptures at will, allowing an approximation of the live viewing experience online. Touring the Museum of the 21st Century In addition to creating Artmuseum.net, Intel is exploring new ways to extend content from the Web site to museum visitors when they are in the museum touring the exhibition. In collaboration with the Whitney, Intel is conducting in-museum research on how handheld tablet PCs can provide multimedia information about the works of art to future museum visitors. In-museum field tests with the tablet PC will focus on determining the best depth and mix of content for museum-goers, as well as looking at how such interactive tours might be adapted for the needs of teachers, non-English speaking museum visitors, and the hearing-impaired. The vision is that multimedia content developed for a Web site can ultimately be streamed to the tablet PC via a wireless network connection. While the trial run will not be open to the general public, tours like the one being tested may eventually become an everyday feature of in-museum education efforts.
