New technology is expanding exposure to art. Using the internet, arts organizations can provide broad access to works that were once only available to those who could be physically present to interpret them. This development of new technology, like interactive online databases, opens opportunities for collaboration between artists, institutions and organizations like never before.
MuralFarm.org is an example of a sophisticated interactive database showcasing community murals produced by the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program. A user can interact with each artwork, looking at the work as a whole or choosing to view specific parts in isolation. A viewer can also learn the story behind each creation. With the opportunity to view these murals online, those unable to travel to Philadelphia can now experience the community's history and artwork in a new way.
