art mobs

check out this project that started at marymount manhattan:
http://mod.blogs.com/art_mobs/

many museums have started to offer an alternative to snooze-inducing audio tours by posting podcasts of various themes to their websites, but i still find most of them a little long and boring. the art mobs folks didn't need or have moma's permission to do this project, but what if museums asked students or the general public to submit podcasts they recorded themselves about one or several works in their galleries, and then edited them and made them available? i'd listen. would you?

  1. This would be a great idea to have it part of the Teen Lab site on the AIC website. The AIC used to have a website dedicated to Teen Lab only-seems they took it out recently. But this would be one possible venue to post teen feedback on what they would like to see in art museums today, whether it's iphone/ipod assist guides, redesign audio tours, etc.
