Virtual Museum |
|
Several browsers or meta-browsers such as Netomat, Iod, Riot and Hullpointer exist as alternatives to Netscape and Explorer and are trying in different ways to broaden the options of visualizing, reading, and connecting web pages. Browserday, a convention of the cutting-edge minds of the digital world, is one of the major events that puts forward the latest artistic and technological developments. Cube is the first example of a refined technique and immediacy which allows for traditional web-browsing with a conceptually fresh and easy interface; the user moves fluidly amongst five pages (represented as faces of a cube) displayed concurrently. Could all of these examples be thought of as virtual museums of information? Or could the transition towards increasingly smaller technological gadgetry such as palm-pilots, wireless communication systems, gps (global position system) continue their trajectory from portable, to wearable, to perhaps eventually nested within our bodies and minds become the real virtual museums? |
