Jumping off of my article last week this is another great example of using the technology we have available today to allow people to experience art that they would otherwise have no opportunity to see. And for those who say that this will never take the place of seeing a live performance and the audience will not have the same experience, they are correct. But they will have an experience that is uniquely different that is no better or worse than that of a live audience.
The most interesting piece of this article is the fact that the viewers of the live performance were able to use social media as a way to talk to other viewers about the performance and what they were experiencing. Which connected people from all over the world in a way that a live performance would not have been able to. This is a brand new outlet that art organizations should be taking full advantage of.
People in the arts are always complaining that the arts are dying and people do not appreciate it like they use to. In all of my classes in this program and at the arts organization that I work at right now we are always talking the way to save the arts is to get the younger generation involved and interested. We are the technology generation. I would rather get a text than a phone call or email than a letter. Projects like the BMW Tate Live: Performance Room and the Google Arts Project are seeing how the world is changing and adapting themselves to it.
